Hi dude, newbie myself, feels a bit scary doesnt it but we all in the same club.

I agree about the comments about the carbs. One thing that worked for me is regularly test my blood sugars after I ate to figure out what is going on. The only thing I recommended is take it day at a time. You are going to make some mistakes we all have. You are under a massive learning curve it takes time to figure out what works

Yes it is just an update down to 30 grams of carbs a day increased fats to fell fuller already have a high protein diet, on now 2g metformin and 60mg of Gliclazide but BSL still in the high 15-17 range tested before and after meals increase in range is 0.07 what ever carb I eat put that down to weighting food to make sure my carbs stay at the same amount.

I’d like to say thanks to the advise I have received on here makes you feel your not alone

If you are a plain ordinary type two then removing those high carb foods and the skimmed milk will help a lot.
Grains such as wheat and oats are high in starch, skimmed milk is just about sugar water coloured white (it is naturally blue) so they are better avoided and replaced with protein and fat. I use chicken thighs rather than fillets, cream in my coffee.
To keep my levels normal I eat salads, stirfries and roasted veges, keeping to low carb options. The berries are fine, I eat them in moderation too, no problem.

To test how you are reacting to food you test before starting to eat, then two hours later. A jump of under two whole numbers is considered the maximum you'd want to see before adjusting the amount of carbs you are having as your normal intake.
