Raechel in real words you do have diabeties.
Diabeties is caused by the body's need to require more and more insulin to deal with the sugar that your body takes in. there comes a point in time that your body can not produce enough insulin by it self to deal with the sugar. that is called insulin resistance.
in short what happens is that as you are young you eat a piece of bread. this takes 10 units of insulin to utalize it properly. then as you get older it takes more and more needing 20 then 30. your body does not produce enough to deal with the need so you need some help. that is where glucophage come in.. there are many others that do the same thing.
if this is confusing then you can email me if needed.
so what happens now is that you really need to be careful of what you eat. and watch what your body is saying if you find that you are getting lightheaded or sweaty, shakey then you need to eat something right away. that means that your glucophage is working to well or you have not eaten enough and the insulin that the glucophage and stimulated has brought your blood sugar down to low.
if you are following a low carb diet then you should be doing ok. but you need to watch verycarefully of what you eat. when you START to feel the blood sugar going down eat some PB that is a good sourse of protein which sill bring the sugar up. but if ti does not bring it up quickly enough then you may have to eat a piece of fruit.
which plan are you following??? and what are your daily intake. that will give me a big help in trying to help you in controling the diabeties. you should if following the diet completely then have control over the diet.
