IMPORTANT- MEDICATION:

What about my current medications?

It is really important that those on diabetes medication (apart from Metformin) do not make any significant changes to their diet without seeking medical advice. If you are on medication for high blood pressure a lower carbohydrate diet may reduce your blood pressure so this will also need to be kept an eye on. You might be able to reduce or come off some of your medication which would be great.

If you are feeling more unwell with a change in diet, please see the side effects page below and review with your medical team.
