I was diagnosed earlier this year. My bs readings were always above 25. I am on metaformin 500mg x 2 a day. Readings are now mid teens. I need to control my diet more and this is where I have problems. I am dairy intolerant and don't eat meat as I have also developed an intolerance to that after a severe stomach bug last winter. I live in Turkey and am somewhat restricted to foods in season. Any suggestions as to what to eat - apart from eggs !! Thanks
