[QUOTE="Yellredder, post: 1936424, member: 443002"] Hi Seales, I'm newly diagnosed too with 48. I drive a lot with my job so never know whether I'll be eating lunch at my desk or in my car. I find that Morrisons Protein bread is good for my levels for a sandwich, but it's one of those items that if they have it on the shelf you need to stock up! When they don't have it I take strips of chicken, cheese and cucumber for lunch as these are easily eaten wherever! I was given a prescription for Metformin last year when I was pre-Diabetic at 47 from our Diabetic lead with the advice that I take it away and think about it before actually getting the meds if I got them at all. I didn't get the meds. So I started low-carbing. I was also sent to a dietitian who suggested low carb too, but she also said to swap potatoes for sweet potatoes and this has been a mistake! I've now got a meter so I have discovered how bad sweet potatoes are - and also how bad my cereal is (which was fine when I had gestational diabetes, but not now!) So deffo get a meter! Good luck!
