Im on 4 metformins a day which is the same as when i was first diagnosed, and ive just cut back a lot on my carb intake.. no bread, pasta, spuds,rice and i take a couple of swigs of apple cider vinegar a day. I havent done much in the way of exercise apart from a bit of walking. I have porridge for breaky or sometimes weetabix, usually a salad for lunch with a bit of meat or eggs, and main meals are usually meat and a selection of veg., I have the odd apple or banana as a snack. In the evenings i can go thru a whole bag of dry roasted nuts , but usually just behave after half a bag..and i have the odd glass of red wine or two.. i also try to use cinnamon when i can if we have a stir fry (no rice but cauliflower rice is almost as nice). I dont worry about fat content at all. and i just read the labels on food packaging for the carbs per 100g . I dont have any sweets or chocs or fruit juices,..although Lindt do a nice choccy bar with only 7g of sugar in the whole thing. If im baking i use canderel. I test my bg levels maybe once a week. I hope that helps.
