Hi Everyone
I also have Just been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes,Doc as put me on Metformin 500mg twice a day.
But yes I am so confused the nurse and doctor both told me to eat plenty of Carbs but after reading on here I see that isn't the case so I have ordered the collins gem carb counter book and will be counting how many carbs I actually have daily, but I am not sure what could be classed as a " safeish " level, yesterday I had about 90g of carbs,I have also bought a blood glucose meter so will be testing to see what i can and can't eat.
I go to the hospital on friday for a Education day,so that will be intresting to see what they say I should be eating
any way just wanted to say hi to all and I am finding a lot of useful info on here so thank you to all who post
