You probably need more fat as well. Bread, potatoes, breakfast cereals, fruit may well all be off limits at least until your numbers improve a bit. Tuna is good though. Have you considered also: salmon, avocado, eggs, green veg smothered in butter, steak and chicken (if you eat meat), nuts, cream, cheese, full fat Greek yoghurt, berries? Any of those should give you an improvement on your current diet which from what you’ve posted seems based on bread, potato, apples/bananas and breakfast cereal - all probably no-no’s for a type 2 diabetic. Give it a try for 2 weeks and see what happens. If you have no improvements at all, you’ll probably need to speak to your healthcare team to consider possible alternative diagnosis. But honestly if I ate what you’re eating, my figures would be the same or even worse than yours (I’m on more or less the same meds as you btw).</blockquote>
