Hi, I got diagnosed this week with type 2, the doctor started me on metformin twice a day.
I am struggling to know what meals to eat and what’s good as I’ve only had 1 half hour consultation with the nurse so I’m still not 100% sure what is good and bad. I’ve been told I don’t need to test my sugars, which I thought was strange.
I have listed a couple of daily eating plans and I was wondering if anyone knows if it is ok to have these
Morning
Porridge - Oats so simple original, skimmed milk
Lunch - Slimzone spaghetti and turkey meatballs https://groceries.asda.com/product/...zone-turkey-meatballs-spaghetti/1000003091928
Plus a banana and kiwi fruit for after
Dinner - minced beef with sweet corn and peas thrown in
Plus kiwi fruit and hartleys sugar free jelly for after
I don’t tend to snack but I am quite a plain eater who doesn’t like to try new things so I think I’m going to find this new lifestyle hard after years of practically living on takeaways.
Any advice would be great, thank you
