I like this and I hope other people will read and understand. Diabetes has done the damage, it will not just go away. My blood glucose daily is 5.2 to 6.2. Food management and understanding has not "cured" me it has made me take control of my diet and make better choices.

Well I've been there and it's taken a long time to understand food. I guess you have been diagnosed recently so there is much to learn about the body, the weather food and moods. We all have unknown BG up and down. Myself gardening raises my BG to silly numbers at times and gardening in the sun...

Coffee black for me and type 2 for some years and never a problem. Iv'e learnt a lot about my intake and now in pre-diadetic and find my black coffee is a great help.

Well done to start here The web is full of information and a Blood Glucose meter is very good so you can follw your progress. Food information is confusing but you will learn good and bad and choose what is good for you and your friends and Family learn with you to make better choices. After...

You have made a good start to look for help here as many people have good answers to help you understand. My surgery was hope less with " take these pills " and that was it. Nurse said no need for testing, how wrong that advice was. The glucose meter told me the effect of foods on me as I drive...

Yes a whole load of HEALTHY food is now not so good for me that once was a good diet for a T2 and now I have to replan my dinners.

Foods need to be selected as my stoma bag has a vent so I'm learning. So in company I have an odor around me that smells of school dinners. Fish has always been in my diet but now only if I eat olone, sausage also a problem as I can't process skins. Again I'm learning.

Thanks your link looks like a good one so I'll sign up and hope to get ideas to fit me. I can't be the only guy in this state. I love fried bread but afraid of putting on pounds as I have reached Pre-diabetic and had such a healthy diet and the energy levels I've not seen for a long time. BUT...

Yes the Hospital was aware but the team had no advice for me but to try it and see what happensas all they had was the low fibre diet sheet to work with. SO. it's a pick n' mix diet and eat by the meter which I have never needed to test before.

Yes. Fitted with a stoma bag after the second op. I am trying to balance my diat and understand the right balance for me having read alot on the web, nothing refers to me, Its Low carb or High carb and no advice for my state. The hosptal was unable to give me any advice but "try foods and see...

Controlled diat and now pre-diabetic, BUT I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer this was operated on and removed. The answers I'm looking for is diat. My diat is now low fibre and add salt to my food, eat white bread and white pastre, and more Carbs, this goes against my Diabetic diat of Low carb...
