[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 427518, member: 21149"] Hi. We were all newly diagnosed at one point so ask away. The tablets you have, probably Metformin, even at max dose do not have a dramatic effect on blood sugar but help particularly if you are overweight. You obviously realise that reducing carbs is what you need to do. You may want to set yourself some form of objective; perhaps at least below 200gm/day. Many go for a less but see what the meter tells you. Be a little careful when you see the dietician. Many are excellent but some are just way out of date and will tell you to 'just have a normal healthy diet with starchy carbs'. If you do come across one of these dinosaurs just follow what this forum says and use your common sense. [/QUOTE]
