Most of us type 2's are told we don't need a meter. This is incorrect advice. We do need a meter, otherwise how do we know which foods are causing the high BS levels? We test before a meal then 1hr and 2hrs after starting the meal to see what that meal has done to us. I suggest you buy one, and start learning which foods your body can cope with. We are all different.
Many of us find we can't eat any sort of bread, wholemeal or not. Lots of fruit is bad. Fruit is full of sugar. Many of us can just about manage berries or an odd apple. Potatoes are usually a no-no for most people, although one or two small ones maybe OK. You don't know what you can cope with ...... so please get a meter, test out your meals, and you may be in for a big shock.
The good news is you can eat meat, fish, eggs, natural fats such as butter, cream, olive oil, rapeseed oil, cheese etc. Bacon and eggs, yum yum!
