I'll bin the granola But this is where it gets confusing as the diabetes UK magazine they have given me both by hospital and doctors say you can eat whole oats. They also say not to stop eating fruit and whole fruit is fine but recommend berries, plums and peaches. So can see why people get...

I've got some granola and porridge to eat, so will ration how much at time to have. As for meats I'll limit bacon and sausages and try to get the wife to eat grilled versions rather than fried. I think the next few months or so will be a learning curve But thanks to all for the replies and...

A lot of advice I got was from docs, when i asked about stuff as I said I prefer pork, lamb and steak. And on top when looking at stuff online. I know rhubard is a veg and I could eat it just stewed with custard or tip-top. I do love pies, cakes, biscuits (as most people probably do) but I've...

At the moment Folpik XL 10mg (felodipine) (daily) SunVit-D3 20,000 IU (Cholecalciferol) (weekly) Januvia 100mg (Sitagliptin) (daily) Atorvastatin 20mg (daily) I have to get more meds (Ramipril 2.5mg) to go with these - did start just on standard antibiotics Hba1c? not sure but if this is...

Hi all, Got diagnosed early April after initially going to hospital for UTI after unable to get doc's appointment. Big change in what I can eat, but not too bothered about that but will miss out on a lot of my favourites (including the wife's homemade jams) If it weren't for an OOH Doctor who...
