[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2055254, member: 355878"] Hello [USER=507071]@Curran[/USER] - welcome to the forum. I hope you are tolerating the Metformin - it can be rather unpleasant in its consequences. There is a section of the forum for vegetarians, but it is one of the more problematic ways of eating, as the main sources of foods without carbs are from animals, but there are other options as vegetarian is pretty main stream these days. Many people have found that reducing the carbs they eat results in a reduction in blood glucose, and many can get down to normal - I eat a lot of salads and stirfries, avoiding heavy starches. I have found a really low carb bread stocked in Asda - protein bread, with under 8 percent carbs. It looks like a brown brick, but I can eat it and not feel bleugh. Like most type twos I substitute cauliflower for grain and potatoes, avoid high carb fruit, but do eat berries and cream from time to time. I'm afraid that lots of things considered healthy confer no protection and can actually be bad for a type two diabetic, but there are a lot who have got it under control and are here to cheer you on. There are small squabbles, but they are not meant to be nasty - we are all heading the same way, just jostling a little as we go. [/QUOTE]
