[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1160872, member: 94045"] One good thing I was told when I was diagnosed was never eat diabetic foods. They are over priced and give you diarrhea. It was actually in a booklet I was given. Basically, as an unmedicated Type 2 you need to formulate a diet based round as few carbs as you can. The main ones to reduce or eliminate are rice, potatoes, bread, pasta, cereals and anything made with or containing flour. This includes wholemeal foods. We also need to be careful with fruit and milk.. If you intend to low carb, have a look at these [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/a-new-low-carb-guide-for-beginners.68695/[/URL] [URL]http://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/60-seconds[/URL] Your next buy should be a meter. Many of here use the Codefree because it has the cheapest strips. Beware of free meters as their strips can be very expensive. The cost of the strips is far more important than the cost of the meter because we need a lot of strips and only one meter. Try here for the Codefree meter [URL]http://homehealth-uk.com/product-category/blood-glucose/blood-glucose-monitor/[/URL] and here for the extra strips [URL]http://homehealth-uk.com/all-products/sd-codefree-test-strips-to-be-used-only-with-the-sd-monitor/[/URL] Pharmacies don't sell them. There are discount codes if you buy in bulk and remember to declare you are diabetic as you don't pay the VAT. 5 packs 264086 10 packs 975833 [/QUOTE]
