I was dx'd at the end of Feb. 2009. type 2, metformin 500 mg twice daily, also synthroid .75 once in the morn, lovastatin for cholesterol at dinner. I was also on glypizide for sugar but had to stop that because it would drop me into the 40's. I was told by my doctor my body needed carbs so that was the reason he put me on the glipizide. Low fat for me did not work. Made me feel horrible. Started Atkins the newer version and gained weight, though bg readings were excellent. Started Mon on Atkins 72. will not weigh till next Mon. Blood glucose readings are 90 - 111. I have had no higher than that on this woe. I sometimes miss my carbs, but I do not miss the highs and lows !!! My husband is type 1 diabetic. for 25 yrs now.
