rapid weight loss
hi everyone. i was diagnosed type 2 last year. i immediately went on atkins and metformin. but i was so sick from metformin that all i wanted to eat was mashed potatoes. then they switched me to januvia. it didn't work all that well, but it kept my levels from being crazy high. after that, i rebelled for a while, stopped my meds and ate whatever i wanted. well, with diabetes all i wanted was sweets. so, my blood sugar went up, up, up and the weight started coming down. i lost 15 pounds before i realized that i had to do something and quick. so, i started my meds again, gave up caffeine (2 weeks) and then started atkins.
my question is this, i lost 12 pounds in 5 days. i've done atkins a couple times and never lost this much weight. last august, i lost only 5 pounds the first week.
is it common for diabetics to lose so much weight the first week? or is something else is going on?
i have an appointment later this month, but it is a new doctor, and i don't know how she feels about atkins.
