I told you I would update you about my low carb experiment and boy, was I surprised how drastically it changed my numbers. Here was my previous daily regimen:
Before breakfast: 1000mg of Metformin pill, Insulin 60 units of N and 40 units of R
Before Lunch: 40 units of R
Before Dinner: 40 units of R
Before Bedtime: 1000mg Metformin pill, Insulin 60 units of N
Once I cut my carb intake down to 20g with breakfast and 20g at lunch and dinner, this is what I was able to reduce my medications to almost immediately.
Before breakfast: 1000mg of Metformin pill, 30 units of N and 20 units of R
Before Lunch: 20 units of R
Before DInner: 20 units of R
Before BEdtime: 1000mg Metformin pill and 30 units of N
A few days later I reduced my carb intake to zero for breakfast and 10g for lunch and dinner. This is what I was able to reduce my medications to.
Before breakfast: 1000mg of Metformin pill, 30 units of N and ZERO units of R
Before Lunch: ZERO units of R
Before DInner: ZERO units of R
Before BEdtime: 1000mg Metformin pill and 30 units of N
A few days later I didn't even need the N!!!!
Now I take my morning and bedtime Metformin and that is all. And I am not sure if I really even need that.
And a little bonus, I lost a few pounds. Don't worry the Dr. said I could lose a little during the pregnancy since I had a little extra when I started :)
