[QUOTE="KatieYorks, post: 525618, member: 105666"] Hi everyone, I'm Katie from East Yorks. I was diagnosed with type 2 just over two weeks ago, which I wasn't expecting. I've had a read through some of the posts and it seems a lot of people leave their GPs feeling confused (I'm glad I'm not the only one!!) I just can't get my head around this at all and I've absolutely no idea what I can or can't eat! I am being strict with myself and sticking to three (healthy) meals a day (lots of stir fry, salad) but every day I feel like I'm about to cave in and slip back to my old habits. I'm really struggling with knowing how many carbs per day I should have. I was told to look at the grams per 100 instead of for the whole item, though not sure why. I'm waiting to see a dietician though until then I feel like I'm in limbo a bit. I do need to lose weight so have recently joined a gym which I'm enjoying and really hoping will make a difference. I'm really hoping this all makes sense soon! Katie [/QUOTE]
