Is it safe for someone with type 2 diabetes and a normal average blood sugar level (HbA1c of 5) to go on a low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet to lose weight while taking Jalra 50/500 twice a day?
Your HbA1c is at an excellent level of 5. Since your blood sugar is already so well-controlled, starting a strict low-carb ketogenic diet while taking Jalra (vildagliptin/metformin) twice daily requires some caution. Reducing your carbs so drastically while on this medication could lead to your blood sugar dropping too low. I highly recommend discussing this with your doctor first. Given your fantastic blood sugar control, they may want to adjust or even reduce your Jalra dose to ensure you can safely pursue your weight loss goals.
