[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1806125, member: 94045"] Firstly, your doctor is wrong. Our livers make our cholesterol according to how much is needed. When we eat foods that contain cholesterol, such as eggs, our livers just make a bit less. So it all balances out. Eggs have been demonised in the past, but this is no longer the case. Science moves on. I eat tons of eggs, at least one every day sometimes 2 or 3. My cholesterol is fine.

Many of us do. You could change the timing of your Metformin and have it with your lunch. The only reason you are advised to take it with meals is because in some people it can cause a tummy upset if not taken with food. I just have a coffee with double cream as soon as I get up, and only eat in a 6 hour window - lunch and tea. You will read a lot of threads on the forum about intermittent fasting, and how it is good for T2 diabetics. My way is called 18/6. (18 hour fast, 6 hours in which to eat, but that doesn't include things like tea, coffee, water etc, which you can have whenever) Some people have a full fat plain yogurt with either 2 or 3 small strawberries or half a dozen raspberries, but I find my coffee and cream is better for me. Is there a particular reason why you are avoiding fat? [/QUOTE]
