Message: <blockquote data-quote="WriterGirl81" data-source="post: 1694834" data-attributes="member: 461823">Hello thereI'm a recently diagnosed type 2 on metformin. I'm struggling a little with food ideas (trust me, this was never a problem before as I love to cook!)I'm gluten intolerant, lactose intolerant and now low-carb which, as you know means, cutting out my old faves of potatoes and pasta and rice.I'm getting by and making progress with my weight loss.By the way, I also have PCOS and I suffer with severe anxiety so finding out I was diabetic has been no small adjustment as I'm sure you can imagine.I'm mostly sticking to meat fish and vegetables, one piece of fruit a day. Given up all processed sugar too. Using lactose free substitutes.Are we allowed plain beans and lentils? If so, is there a portion size limit I should stick to? Was concerned I'm not getting enough fibre.Also, I've been looking for some plain dairy free yoghurt but I'm not sure if the sugar content is too high or if I'm being over cautious. Is there a number I should be looking out for in the nutritional information?Sorry for all the questions, I'm sure a million people ask the same things but would really love some advice and reassurance.Many thanks</blockquote>
