[QUOTE="Bex72, post: 2296743, member: 528595"] Rosie, I was diagnosed T2 just 8 days ago. The practice nurse left a couple of diabetes magazines for me, one with "healthy" diet recipes showing big bowls of pasta and other carbs. Personally, I've cut out carbs and my BG has reverted back to normal levels for a non diabetic. I was prescribed Metformin and had the dose increased to two tablets. However, I could not handle the increased dose (the symptoms were too unpleasant) and stopped taking altogether when my BG reached a good level. 2 tablespoons of porridge oats was enough to trigger a 9 point spike after 2 hours. I am not overweight (just have belly fat), I lost 2 pounds in a week.... cutting carbs is not leading to rapid weight loss. It would be good to get diet advice from diabetic nurses and doctors that believe in the benefits of low carb. I am testing my blood regularly at the moment to help my own understanding of how to manage this condition. I do know that your experience is personal to you and over time you'll understand more about what does and doesn't work for you. [/QUOTE]
