New here (see greetings section) and I am totally confused
I am finding that what one place says is good, others say it is bad.
I was diagnosed on Tuesday and have an appt to see the diabetic clinic people a week tomorrow.
In the meantime, I have been told to lose weight and that if I can demonstrate that, there is a chance the nurse will not immediately put me on medication, likely to be Metformin.
So since 9 am Tuesday, I have eaten the following to try to lose weight-I have no blood glucose kit to test myself yet.
While I guess its good for weight loss with hardly any fat, but what is it like on a diabetic level?
Tuesday:
Cereal.
Salad with a bit of ham.
2 water crackers
Meatballs and brown pasta with chopped tomatoes (tin)
3 apples.
Wednesday:
Porridge (half semi skinned, half water)
Carrot soup (homemade containing carrots, onions, garlic and a potato + pepper and mixed herbs)
Omlette with a large salad.
2 apples.
Today:
Porridge
Carrot soup, as above.
