Hi Everybody,
Age 55. Went to Doc Monday 2/3/09 with usual symptoms (thirst, frequent visits to
loo etc.,) blood/sugar 22.5, high blood pressure.

Confirmed type 2 on Fri 6/3/09. Prescribed 1 x 500mg Metformin per day.

Bit confused about what to eat etc and more that a bit anxious. Cut out all sweets,choc and sugar but not sure of what is good to eat or not.

Believe that help from this forum will answer many of my million questions

:? :?
 
Hi Edeesgranda and welcome

Ideally you need to cut out starch as well, that's potatoes, bread,pasta, rice
Meat and fish tend to be ok as are leafy green vegetables

Have a good read through the low carb board for more information and if you have any questions just ask :)

Have a good look round the forum,there are a lot of good ideas about diets on here,some use low GI some low Carb and there are many variations on those themes.You will find one that suits you and your lifestyle.Please ask us questions if you do not find what you are looking for.
