[QUOTE="sanguine, post: 903172, member: 101256"] Hi Jon, welcome. You're not the first and you won't be the last to assume that you would be unlikely to develop T2 (or be surprised when you did) on what would otherwise be thought of as a healthy diet. Now that you are diagnosed, you may want to reconsider the granary bread, basmati rice and fruit (apart from berries) as for most of us carbohydrates and sugars spike our blood glucose levels. That means particularly bread, pasta, rice and potatoes. I doubt that the dietician you see will give you appropriate advice frankly, much of it is laughable. Your best bet would be to get a blood glucose meter (SD Codefree are most cost-effective for strips) and see what different foods and meals do to you. As for drinks, yes G&T is OK (spirits in general, it's the sugary mixers that's the problem), or dry white wine/champagne or red wine. Have a good read around, including the items in my sig below and good luck! [/QUOTE]
