[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 687723, member: 94045"] We have all been where you are now. Frightened, confused, upset. It is perfectly normal, but you will get your head round it all and everything will become much easier. It would help if the NHS gave us proper dietary advice suitable for Type 2's, but sadly they don't. Take some deep breaths and try not to worry. We are all here to help you just as we all help each other every day. Following some form of low carb diet has helped most of us bring our levels down and control this disease, and lose weight at the same time. For breakfasts try bacon and eggs, or eggs made any which way such as omelettes, scrambled etc. Or if you need to be quick, have a natural yogurt (not a sweetened one) with a few strawberries/raspberries/blueberries thrown in. Full fat Greek yogurts are best. You can also add some nuts or seeds. Porridge is a funny one. Some people can manage it in small portions, others can't. A meter would tell you how much, if any, you could manage. A meter will also tell you if you can manage a slice of bread with a meal, or a couple of potatoes, or a spoonful of rice or pasta. Some can, most can't. Just keep asking questions. [/QUOTE]
