[QUOTE="sanguine, post: 617812, member: 101256"] Hi Nige, welcome. You seem to have been sheep-dipped through the surgery about as fast as I was. First thing to do is to sort out what you eat. Apart from the obvious sugars you will need to cut your carbohydrate intake significantly - bread, potatoes, pasta, rice. For diabetics carbs might as well be sugar. I would say testing is essential. You need to know what specific foods spike your blood sugar levels. Only a few T2s get them on prescription, generally we have to buy our own - SD Codefree (Amazon etc) is a popular choice. You will note that the above is probably contrary to what your GP and diabetic nurse might tell you. NHS advice to T2s is poor. Lots to take on at first, but read around and ask any questions.
