Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="nickella" data-source="post: 1299148" data-attributes="member: 351488">I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes around 4 years ago, I believe I probably had it a lot longer. Aside from being told to watch what I ate, and attending the surgery for an annual review, I just carried on eating and doing everything the same.  However, this time I was told that my diabetes is registering "57", following a blood test.  Haven't a clue what this means, except that it is apparently getting worse and I may have to take medication 3 times a day.I was told I had to exercise more and change my diet. I asked about the food I could eat, Indian, Italian, Chinese - especially Chinese, but was told to stick to salads, with fish or meat. I could eat a small amount of rice or pasta, but to leave off potatoes.Sorry, but I cannot live like that. So would appreciate any and all advice as to what I can eat, as my wife loves cooking and I love eating and whilst I don't have a problem in adjusting what I eat, I do not want to give up all my pleasures, including the occasional pint or glass of wine.</blockquote>
