Hi All
Having been diagnosed T2 a month ago I have resigned myself that finding out what your body will allow you to have is simply a case of trial and error.
My reading was 17+ at diagnosis a month ago and has come down to 7.3
My DN (called Egor) advises me to avoid white bread, wine, beer, (of course) but eat porridge,banana's and other fruit twice a day.
In a post yesterday everyone suggested I cut out the fruit and porridge. And that I could eat chicken, eggs, bacon and steak.
Been living on salad and fish since diagnosis.
Lost 5lbs in weight. Exercising one-twice a day for15-30 mins each time. Need to loose 9lbs in weight for a BMI of -25.
Given that both Egor and the responses to my post all agree 'no white bread' at the very least - I'd give any bread a wide berth.
However, they did suggest, rather usefully, that I could eat, for example, bread and, testing before and a few hours afterwards to see how my body tolerated me scoffing. Egor just said to test once a day, which has given me some useful clues.
Eat, test and be damned
