Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I have been reading a lot about low carb diets and diabetes. Not questioning anybody else's regimen here, but this looks like the way I will be going. I am concerned that the Actos and/or the Glipizide are going to keep me from weight loss. I am really hoping, too, that a little bit of weight loss will let me get off these drugs. The Actos has piled on pounds and swollen my feet to where nothing fits them except a pair of birkenstocks and my bike riding boots. My BG is lower, but I can't believe that it's healthy to be carrying what feels like 20 pounds of water - and yes, I'm on lasix, 40 mg. If anybody here has low carbed at all, but particularly on Actos, it would really help me to hear about your experience. I'm not going with Atkins, or South Beach, but with Dr. Bernstein. Thanks!
