Hi David: I have a hard time finding good sources of fat. I live in a small community that doesn't have good food sources other than chain-grocery store (one in our area). Maybe I should try just pemmican for a while? I take three, 850 mg tablets of glucophage plus one 4 mg tablet of glimiperide each day. I am supposed to also take two, ten mcg shots of byetta (not an insulin) each day, but it causes nasty gastro side effects. My blood glucose is high lately (440 a week ago), and of course I have read that high protein is turned into glucose just the same as other carbs. I need to find a good fat source, and was thinking about coconut oil, and trying pemmican? ----------- David Harrison said: You might want to look at your macronutrient ratios. Decreasing protein and increasing fat helped a friend of mine get off of glimepiride(diabetes pill). He was taking shots before he basically went paleo than went to the pills. One possibility... Could the potassium levels be a side effect of your diabetes medicine since you are mostly paleo? Trish
