Diagnosed with T2 3 months ago and taking metformin twice daily.
I’ve been told that taking the meds would allow me to eat a sensible normal diet . However I’m finding that far from the truth. My normal diet would have been cereal for breakfast. Sandwich for lunch. Fruit. And pasta or meat and 3 veg for dinner. Now I can’t eat what I would class as a normal dinner without becoming symptomatic. The thirst I have is unbearable.
I have found a very restricted diet keeps my symptoms at bay but “Is this it?” Eating like this the rest of my life? I feel so overwhelmed and can’t seem to find an answer anywhere.
