[QUOTE="GolowDydh, post: 2287906, member: 527772"] I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes ([SIZE=4]93 mmol/mol[/SIZE]) Due to covid I have only had telephone doctors appointments and have been prescribed metaformin. I have CKD which is often a contraindication for this drug. Having had a face to face appointment with the diabetes nurse, I was given a food record sheet which had boxes for sugar levels but told to ignore them as "we do the finger prick test anymore if somebody is on metaformin" I want to manage my diet as much as possible to hopefully keep the drug level down to a theraputic minimum and protect my kidney. I know how to eat healthily but not as a diabetic. Without being able to test my the effects of the meals I eat, how can I develop the most effective diet for me? [/QUOTE]
