Well it's just based on a Greek salad, I'm only taken the low carb options of that diet and yes it's basic. I've only just started looking at options I was only diagnosed last week so just need to get started. I know med diets have lots of sauces and breads them are some of the bits I'm gonna...

Well I had a salad mixed in red wine vinegar and olive oil with Angus burgers and feta cheese, pretty low carb and I enjoyed it. Salad has never been my favourite but in the vinegar it made it tangy I really enjoyed it. I tried to upload a photo but it's too big grrr

Well last week I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes gutted but on a positive side I've started a diet and looking forward to losing the pounds for summer. Now I do like a drink and my favourite is Coors yum and when I have a night out I like to party hard but that's obviously got to stop now. Last...

I have to admit since I was diagnosed last week with T2 this subject has also crossed my mind. I'm a self employed taxi driver however asking around I have come across alot of lads that have the same condition and still driving. WOW if I lost my license I would be devastated, I have done this...

Hi everyone this is only my second starter thread so be gentle lol. I was diagnosed with type two a week ago and using this as a challenge to lose weight and get fit for the summer. I noticed alot of people favour the low carb diet route, I've done this before and lost alot of weight but fell...

I was doing a bit reading last night and tbh I'm more inclined to try the Mediterranean diet. It seems like an easy to follow balanced diet based on real good foods mostly salads, veg and lean meats so as I believe it sounds pretty low carb. I was looking at having regular meat salad dishes...

Hi and thanks for the reply and well done on taking control without the meds. To be honest I started the drug yesterday as I haven't done all the research yet. I still feel like this is all a dream and a bad one at that lol. As for diet I have started watching what I eat, I have cut bread...

High and thanks again for the replies, I asked about checking my bloods but the nurse told me not to bother as they would check it a couple of times a year for me anyway, I also mentioned the highpo's sorry for the spelling but she said I wouldn't get them. I have that simple graph she drew it...

Hi folks and thanks for the replies. I don't know what the hba1c level was, infact I never heard of a hba1c level until you mentioned it. The nurse I had drew me a simple graph, showed me where I should have been and where I am now on it. Food wise I eat anything and I know it's been wrong for...

That was a quick reply and thanks for the welcome. Just to add Im strangely not worried about this, it's a wake-up call and maybe a warning. I will use it as a challenge and get fit again and look good for summer that's the goal I have made for myself it's no good getting down life is too short.
