OH YES ! been there but problem was solved with slow release Metformin. Not funny at the time and a real problem, and you learn where all the toilets are when your out and about. I hope it works out for you. You will find loads of answers on the forum and loads of help.

Great way to start. Loads of information and advice. I have T2 but with diet changes it is a whole lot easy to control diabetes and you will find it easy to choose the right food for you and you will always make the best choices when out and about. You learn the rules day by day and, it is a...

Good start to my day, 6:30 and two cups from my coffee dripper before I think about food. Catch up on the news and then whole meal toast and black coffee #3 about 9am. I'm off my metformin now and into pre-diabetic, not saying this made it work there's a whole lot more has been done to reach my...

I like this and I hope other people will read and understand. Diabetes has done the damage, it will not just go away. My blood glucose daily is 5.2 to 6.2. Food management and understanding has not "cured" me it has made me take control of my diet and make better choices.

Well I've been there and it's taken a long time to understand food. I guess you have been diagnosed recently so there is much to learn about the body, the weather food and moods. We all have unknown BG up and down. Myself gardening raises my BG to silly numbers at times and gardening in the sun...

Coffee black for me and type 2 for some years and never a problem. Iv'e learnt a lot about my intake and now in pre-diadetic and find my black coffee is a great help.

You have made a good start to look for help here as many people have good answers to help you understand. My surgery was hope less with " take these pills " and that was it. Nurse said no need for testing, how wrong that advice was. The glucose meter told me the effect of foods on me as I drive...

Yes a whole load of HEALTHY food is now not so good for me that once was a good diet for a T2 and now I have to replan my dinners.

Foods need to be selected as my stoma bag has a vent so I'm learning. So in company I have an odor around me that smells of school dinners. Fish has always been in my diet but now only if I eat olone, sausage also a problem as I can't process skins. Again I'm learning.

Thanks for the reply, this is going to be a new learning curve but help is out there. So proud I can control my diabetes with diet to reach Pre-diabetic and most of it now goes out the window. so press on and learn to adapt.

Thanks your link looks like a good one so I'll sign up and hope to get ideas to fit me. I can't be the only guy in this state. I love fried bread but afraid of putting on pounds as I have reached Pre-diabetic and had such a healthy diet and the energy levels I've not seen for a long time. BUT...

Thanks your link looks like a good one so I'll sign up and hope to get ideas to fit me. I can't be the only guy in this state.

As most of my breakfast cereals or out now, porridge, bran flakes ect all thats left is toast for easy process for the morning so I am able to leave home.

Many thanks as I'm on a learnig curve to adapt to suit my needs.
