If you are type 2 then a LCHF diet will help reduce your blood sugars which may help you reduce your medication and also help you lose weight. Your BG levels do seem to be very high, so perhaps you are eating a lot of carbs. You need to cut out bread, potatoes, rice, pasta. Also stop drinking orange juice.

@Happy hippy - Go to the top of the page and click on the word FORUMS, then scroll down to FOOD and NUTRITION there you will see all kinds of Diets. Just click on and have a look at what others eat to get some ideas.
Hi @Happy hippy. I'm not fond of veg myself but it's very possible to keep to LCHF without. How do you feel about a cooked brekkie? Egg cooked any way you like, high protein sausages (most supermarkets do a 97% meat version), good quality bacon. If you need a quick start to the day because you have to pop to work, a hard-boiled egg and slice of ham or cheese would do the job and keep you full until lunch. Add a coffee with double cream and you'll be super satisfied.
If you want some lunch, most places will give you a slice of meat and cheese or buy a burger and dump the bun.
For dinner, anything you want but drop the carby pasta, rice or spuds. Have some chicken or fish in curry sauce (count the carbs) with cauli rice or a stir fry with spiralised courgette, a good casserole, a chicken breast or steak with fried tomato and broccoli. Let your imagination run riot and you'll learn to enjoy your food again. LCHF isn't nearly as restrictive as it seems at first.
Do check your meter whenever you add a new food, though. The first aim is to get your levels down, much more important than just losing weight, though that may help.
Hi welcome to the forumi really want to do the lchf diet. But I'm useless at planning.
I love buttered toast.
Don't know where to start.
I'm overweight on insulin ( I hate this)
I have ulcerative colitis so have to be careful with salad and raw veg!!
My blood sugars are always high ( 10-19)

Thanks for the useful info. I have just googled them and found Warburton have included lunch ideas on their website. They will have to be adjusted for lchf. Easy on the tomatoes but I have seen lots of threads asking for lunch ideas so this might help. http://www.warburtons.co.uk/recipes/lunch/healthy-recipes I have only tried the lidl rolls so this is not a comment on the relative merits of the breads. Will be near a waitrose on Tuesday so will try a livlife £1.59.Hi welcome to the forum- there a quite a few lower carb breads out there now if you like your toast - 1 slice mind!
There is burgen soya and linseed- 11g carb a slice
Warburtons protein loaf - 9g a slice
Tesco high protein loaf 10g a slice
Morrisons high protein loaf 8g a slice
Lidl do a high protein roll which loads of people on the forum are crazy about at about 10g a roll and probably the most filling!
Livlife bread which is about 4g I think
Why not join the sites low carb programme https://www.diabetes.co.uk/lowcarb/i really want to do the lchf diet. But I'm useless at planning.
