[QUOTE="sshaw99, post: 666450, member: 136749"] HI everyone, I've just this week been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after attending a walk-in centre and suddenly being admitted into hospital! My blood sugar readings at the time were 17.4 8 hours after eating/drinking anything. I've been put on metformin (2x500mgday). Since then I've been to doctors, arranging to see dieticians etc and been reading up lots on-line (already seen lots of useful information on this forum). Looks like I'm going to have to cut out/cut down a number of the things I enjoy eating such as rice/pasta to curb my carb intake. Just wondering if anyone has advice for travelling as this forms a part of my job. How do you control regular meal times/what to do about eating in restaurants etc in foreign countries? I've got a blood testing meter so can monitor when away, and am currently starting this to see how my glucose levels vary with different foods/time of day etc. Any help much appreciated. Thanks!
