I've gone with Almond milk, unsweetened. Seems a good choice and tastes ok

So just before I have dinner I thought I’d check my blood after it’s been high all day and it’s 5.9

yes ok I admit I balls up on this

Ok so what should I look for carb wise in an individual pot of say 100-150g

Would these be ok??

What full fat Greek yogurt do people suggest. Can only see fat free and low fat in Sainsbury’s

Thank you can I ask why full fat milk would be better than skimmed milk? How about Almond milk?

But there are virtually no carbs or sugar in salted popcorn?

I’m really struggling to get my head round what to eat. Do more carbs increase glucose levels? Ideally I want to just to eat smaller portions and less junk food. I don’t really want to be trying a low carb diet. I just want to eat healthier and smaller options to lose weight and hope in turn...

My past 3 yearly fasting readings have been 41, 41, 51

What do people suggest I have for breakfast?

I’ve been diagnosed with type 2 for just over a year and take one Metformin in the morning and one in the evening. To be honest I’ve still just eaten what I want because my levels have never been high, generally 7-8.4 but I’ve decided to turn a new leaf and be good and try to lose weight...

I have cut the crust off the quiche just to be safe. Will get some roasted peanuts in future

Yes started doing a pack lunch in the evenings. Today consists of 2 hard boiled eggs, bit of cheese, slice of quiche and some cashew nuts. God I miss crisps!! Lol

**Update** I've been reading your suggestions and trying my best to stick to a low carb diet. In the mornings I have been having some Alpro natural yoghurt before leaving the house around 6.30am and then a coffee at work around 8am. When I test my blood at midday it generally is around 5.5-5.8...

Thanks everyone for the ideas. As I leave the house at 6.15 every morning I need to work out what's going to work. We have a cafe at work that does boiled eggs and bacon in the mornings but I don't want to be spending £5 everyday in there. I like the idea of a crust less veggie quiche or natural...

What do people eat for breakfast then as that would help me. I was having 2 slices of toast in the mornings with marmite but I have cut that to one slice and the banana. I'm more than happy to try something different

I was diagnosed about a year ago with type 2 after a borderline reading, anyway I was put on metformin and it didn't really sink in properly and have been guilty of just eating as normal and taking the tablets. On my reviews with the nurse she has always been happy with my readings, my last...

Has there been any updates to this device regards pricing. I've just come across it and was thinking about giving it a try, but being type 2 and not experiencing crazy readings I'm thinking its very expensive

Will do that in the morning then and see what it reads. By the way do doctors put test strips etc on prescription as they are about £7 per 10
