[QUOTE="JAC79, post: 2263342, member: 523965"] Hi All I was diagnosed with Type 2 last week and have now been given an increasing dose of metformin. I previously had gestational diabetes when pregnant with my daughter four years ago so I do have a little experience with diabetes. Though I am finding this hard to get my head around, I have the added complication of having ulcerative colitis which was diagnosed last year. I am also on medication for this and I had to change my diet a fair bit to help with the painful symptoms (no onions, no garlic, no mushrooms, no wholewheat or wholegrain foods) and to be honest I am still finding my way with this, but now I have been diagnosed with diabetes, I am totally thrown all over again as the diets for both diabetes and UC are so contradictory. Does anyone on here have any experience with this? how have you found a happy medium diet wise? and what worked for you? I am thinking that I will need to get a blood sugar monitor kit to see how different meal effect my sugar levels and see what works best while trying to stay away from painful foods. If anyone has any hints or tips, I would love to hear them I am feeling a little lost in all this. Thanks, Jo [/QUOTE]
