Thanks everyone

I'm not the greatest of cooks but as a newly diagnosed type 2 with virtually no support right now, I'm sick to the back teeth of meat/veg/salad , cheese and eggs and eating the same thing every day. Can anyone recommend a good recipe book that's not complicated or needs loads of ingredients...

Newly diagnosed type 2 and following a low carb diet as directed by GP but I've no idea how many carbs I should be having. Any ideas please?

Just wanted to thank you for your advice. I contacted Vision Express and they'll re test in a couple of months with no charge for new prescription. I'd never have thought of this if you hadn't mentioned it so thank you so very much!! [emoji4]

How long did you leave it before your re test?

Thank you I will

I'm actually wearing my old ones as I can now see better through those!

Yes I am. And just paid £260 for new specs before I was diagnosed 2weeks ago! [emoji849]

I've been on Metformin for 2 weeks now and my vision had become very blurry over the past few days. Is this normal? Will it subside??

Thanks for all the great advice and links to follow. It's been a great help. My HbA1C on diagnosis was 89 for those who asked. I discussed blood glucose monitoring with mr GP but apparently it's not advocated in type 2 on Metformin.

Hi. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last week and started on Metformin. I'm really unsure about what I can and can't eat... there's so much info on the diabetes site I'm just getting lost in there! I've been referred to an education course but what do I eat in the meantime?? Help!!
