Hi Moggimoo, Your situation is almost the same as mine. My partner is 65 and recently got diagnosed Type 2. He has lost weight rapidly before that. He was put on Metformin 3 x daily. We was never given a meter, was never told I needed one until I read it on this forum. I've ordered one now...

My partner recently got diagnosed with Type 2. So now we're on low carbs. The doctors didn't really inform us of what not to eat. Also not really clear on gluten. Silly question now: if a tub of lard says 'gluten free' is this ok to cook with? I've been reading loads on the forum but now...

Wow, my partner has only just be diagnosed and I'm in a panic about what he can and can't eat let along letting him have the naughty things like chocalate. I don't know where to start.

I'm really concerned about my partners feet. A couple of ulcers appeared before he got diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2. He's on Metformin. Will this help in time?

Has anyone experienced a metallic taste when eating. My partner sometimes can't eat a meal because it tastes metally.

Ok. So am I right in saying a fry up is ok as long as it's cooked with low fat oil?

One of things that's a bit confusing is that people with diabetes are usually overweight. My partner is far from that. Does he still have to eat low fat products?

Hi Daisy1, thanks for your advice. It's been really helpful. Also, thank you Squire Fulwood. Still getting used on how to reply to messages.

Hi, my partner has recently been diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2. He is on Metformin. I've been trying to check out what he can and can't eat or drink. I've read conflicting advice. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
