Hi
I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2, I have been put on Metformin 500g tablets twice daily. Trying to figure out this eating thing, but my BS are still reading from 8.1-13.8, there seems to be logic or reasons as to why. I have been given no advice by the doctor, just told not to eat any sugar.
I have switched to semi skimmed milk with a whole grain cereal, whole grain roll for lunch with ham, sensible dinner with a look out for any hidden sugar and snacking on fruits. I have sugar free or virtually sugar free soft drinks or flavoured waters.
I have been reading every website I can and they all seem to say cut down sugar and fat, which I have, low sugar (under 5g per 100g) foods/drinks.
I really don't know what I am doing or what I should be doing in order to get my BS down. Can anyone help, advice gratefully received!
