[QUOTE="lady, post: 877053, member: 32122"] I'm very confused for about 3 years now I have being trying to control through diet, I was told I was borderline, then pre diabetes, then back to normal, which was last year, so I was in shock when I had my annual blood tests done this year and told I was diabetic. I am on metformin, but on low dose in a morning for 5 days, then next 5 days low dose morning and tea time, then 1 full tablet in morning and half evening for a further 5 days, then 1 full tablet morning and evening. This is because I have other health issues, re stomach and bowels. My diet I was told was ok, until diabetic, then I'm told I cannot eat fruit, cut down on vegetables and carbohydrates, so now I'm really struggling, I have seen a dietician in the past but with IBS, which if I eat for that, it's no good for diabetes. I eat granary and wholemeal bread, I eat jacket potatoes, new potatoes, pasta, rice, cous cous, occasionally oven chips and roast potatoes but all cooked in actifry. I eat chicken, fish, quite a bit of oily fish as I don't eat much diary so this is instead of dairy, I eat pork occasionally lamb, I eat eggs, but scrambled, poached or in an omelette, cereal I eat weetabix, porridge, crumpets, malt loaf, digestive biscuits, I don't eat chocolate. Fruit I eat oranges, melon, banana, frozen berries made into a drink. I have seeds, nuts, occasional dried fruit, but I do have a 150ml glass of prune juice. I drink black tea, and fruit teas, no coffee, water. I do gentle exercise 3 times per week, although limited to what I can do with my knee pain. I am overweight, but cannot seem to shift it, I go up and down due to bloatedness. I do have thyroid problem as well, I guess I am scared my diabetes medication might upset me, and interfere with my other medication. Any help would gratefully be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
