I am hopefully having a gastroscopy and colonoscopy on tuesday i was told not to take my diabetic tablets and only have white food the day before and nothing on the day, no one can help or can get any answers can i have milk or margarine or anything else i am type 2 only on metformin and sitagliptin
 
Things like boiled chicken count as white foods.
I also drank vegetable stock cubes dissolved in hot water with a knob of butter added. Plenty of essentials in there.
When I had my colonoscopy there was a leaflet which listed the foods.
Each Trust is different, but the list of foods in the link up thread looks to have enough things in it to keep a diabetic eating low carbohydrate going for a couple of days.
Boiled eggs, well cooked meats etc.

Probably best not to over think it.
I treated it as a minor fast, as there is only one day when you don't eat solids and even then you can drink clear broth.
 
My hubby ate cooked chicken, clear broth, sugar free jelly
