My name is Vahid, I am here because of my father's diabetes. He is 76 years of age and has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for the past 7 years, he is on metformin medication. He has also had a quadruple bypass heart surgery 6 years ago, and he suffers with digestive issues namely constipation and sensitive stomach and bowels so he can't eat many forms of vegetables or much quantities. This is the reason I have joined this community so I can use the members experiences and information to help my father. I am very grateful for this organisation and the community for being here. Thank you in advance.
kind regards

Hi Vahid,Thank you so much for all the kind messages.
I tried to reply to each one separately but it didn't go through. I guess I am new and don't know how to use some of the features yet.
There was a question about my father's average daily diet;
For breakfast he would have some brown oat bread with some feta cheese. Glass of water.
For lunch he would have something like chicken breast kebab with a small amount of brown oat bread, or he might have a meal made of beef and vegetables like carrot, peas, potatoes and tomatoes with some bread. A piece of fruit such as orange or tangerine or pear. Some yogurt.
For dinner, he would have either soup with a slice of brown oat bread, or he may have some brown oat bread with feta cheese, and a piece of fruit such as apple, or peach or kiwi etc.
He doesn't snack much. He will have one or two cups of black tea no sugar a day. He will have his 8 glasses of water a day. He also tries to go walking 15 or 20 mins a day.
His glucose levels are not too bad but sometimes it can fluctuate a little just borderline high.
I have heard that aloe vera is very good for diabetes. I would like to find out how to use it and how much so maybe it can be introduced to his daily or weekly diet. I just need to make sure it would not effect BP, Cholesterol levels, kidneys, and his heart because of his previous heart surgery.
Thank you for all your support.
