@daddys1 great minds think alike..Have a look at the carbs on the Oatbix thats not the sugars it what it says are the carbs is, I would imagine it's very high and the milk will also be high. What lots have on here is full fat Greek yogurt with berries & I have some Flaxseed 2 teaspoons sprinkled on. Or eggs and Bacon mushrooms, or an Omelette or scrambled eggs or poached eggs. The banana will be no good for you
For me & I believe most on here will have to have either Hovis Seed Sensations 13g carbs per slice only 1 slice at a meal time, or Burgen Soya & Linseed 12g carbs per slice all the others are in the 18 & 20's per slice.
The meat and veg is ok but the veg's should be from above the ground some root veg's have a lot of carbs including the potatoes. I only manage 1/2 a jacket maybe once week with lots of butter & cheese.
The biscuits are a NO NO just full of sugar & carbs, sorry.
I love indian food too, but the rice you would have to look at the portion sizes also any naan's or poppadoms, but if you were doing the rest through the weeks you could maybe have your indian treat.
You have to start to test just before you start a meal to see where you are at then test at at least 2 hrs you do not want to have moved more than 2mmol/L from start to the finish if you have there is something in there that you need to remove or have a smaller quantity. I would personally test at 1hr also in the early stages. Once you know what you can eat you don't need to do all the testing.
Your number will come down , a little exersize will help 1/2 walking a day.
Good luck

@daddys1 great minds think alike..
indian is fine, cut the rice and breads and have a nonstarch veg curry dish on the side or a little dahl or lentil
I'm in aussie, but thank youHi Jack, Tesco's are doing a ready meal curry with rice, both a Rogan Josh or it might have been a madras, I think & a Jafrezia (can't spell) both under 10 carbs, I have had 2 now and for a ready meal was pretty good.

Hi Dave & Welcome, yes it is very confusing, but the NHS does not help with the information they give out. They talk of eating in moderation all foods, and for some it is probably OK, and may help a little. They also say reduce the sugar sweet things but they state that Carbohydrates should be part of the diet the Eat Well Plate.Having been on Metformin for around 20 months now and I am new to the forums I am getting more and more confused by the day, since being diagnosed T2, I or rather my wife has been watching sugar intake carefully now it would appear to be carbs that are more important

HI. That diet is not good with far too many carbs. It's Ok to have some alcohol as it doesn't affect blood sugar by muchOne oatibix for breakfast and maybe a banana. Lunch could beans on toast or ham salad sandwich - wholemeal bread normally. For di normally potatoes or rice with meat and veg. probably have some biscuits or chocolate. Like Indian food. Have this once or twice a month. Drink lot of tea and coffee. No alcohol
