I have a relative with diabetic retinopathy on metformin and another on metformin for “light” diabetes. The latter has chronic venous insufficiency.

Since going on a lower carb diet, the blood sugar of both is no longer a problem. The concern is that both crave carbs for now.

It makes everything 50-100% harder. Just getting food from the freezer or an upper shelf, cooking, doing the dishes ... everything. And we have to have everything delivered now.

My MD has put me on a low-carb diet, which takes away everything I like!
