My name is Rita and have been T2 for 2 years. I don't eat meat or drink alcohol but still struggle with what to eat. I would love to come off medication as I take 2 metformin tablets a day and a statin at night. I sometimes think my diet is very boring and can get a bit fed up . My bg is taken once a year at review time but otherwise no idea what it is. Is this normal procedure for T2.
