do you have a testing meter? it boils down what foods dont make your bg go up too high, many of us find that eating less carbohydrate helps :)
 
Carbohydrates will raise your blood sugar so with a meter you will be able to tell how much carb you can have without raising your blood sugar too much. The good news is that 85% Dark Chocolate such as Green & Blacks and others are quite low carb and hence you can have a few pieces each day. In summary don't worry about diet plans just keep the carbs under control and watch overall food portion sizes.
 
Getting a meter is a good way forward. But!!! A lot of doctors don't like t2 on just metformin having meters as it costs the practice to much money if you got a good go though you will get one
