[QUOTE="Paul-H, post: 2248866, member: 522032"] Hi Colin, like you i'm recently diagnosed and was a bit lost. The lovely people on this forum will give you all the guidance and advice you will need. I spent a few days reading around here, following links to other informative sites and reading them as well. The BG meter is probably the best way for you to find out which foods affect you and how. We're all different and what one T2 can eat without effect might not work for you. I was quite surprised to find that Lidl Bratwurst sausages have very few if any carbs at all! My 3pm BG reading was 5.5 At 5pm I had 3 of those sausages (grilled), mushrooms (also grilled) in a sauce made with full fat single cream, salt and pepper and a sprinkle of paprika, a big serving of green leaf salad with tomatoes and cucumber and a low carb salad dressing. At 7:10pm my BG was 5.2! I've become a bit of a carb counter at the supermarket and check everything now. Anyway, hope all goes well for you. There's a lot of knowledgable people here only too willing to help! [/QUOTE]
