Good morning – I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this?
I have found that cutting out white bread and limiting potatoes and pasta works for me.
Oddly I can eat plenty of chocolate and Chocolate biscuits between meals without much impact. Also, most Indian and Chinese ready meals are very good, as long as I do not have much rice. I do not bother with much fruit and veg.
Eating out seems ok, a large Thai meal and 4 pints of larger last night gave a reading of 6.3 two hours later. Steak and chips or cannelloni give similar results. I do avoid puddings though.
So my diet seems quite easy and does not follow the guidelines. Am I missing something?
I take 1500mg of metformin.
My readings are fasting 5.0 and after meals between 6.0 and 8.0.
I am not overweight.
