[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 451347, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome to the forum. Do read thru Daisy's advice as well as the other posters. If you are overweight as many T2s are initially then do reduce the carbs and get hold of a meter so you can check what foods affect you and by how much. Move over to low-GI carbs where you can. Be aware that, sadly, some NHS professionals and dieticians can offer poor advice that many of us have gone thru so avoid advice that says to just have a 'normal, healthy diet' or even worse 'have starchy carbs with every meal'. Some professionals are brilliant like my DN. Obviously with your other medical conditions other factors may apply to eating and medication. Metformin will help a bit with insulin resistance if you are a bit overweight and the prescription may well be increased gradually if needed. Do come back with questions. [/QUOTE]
