[QUOTE="annejane, post: 2493367, member: 553310"] Hi I am new on here. I was diagnosed a few years ago and took metformin and things have been ok but steadily my numbers for the 3 month reading has been increasing and was a shocking 95 this week! I have not given it much attention or time over the years and dont really understand it all but I believe I have to take control now and put things in place to reduce this number and improve my health. I hope by coming on here I dont get booed at for not doing something sooner. if so I will not be back as that is not what anyone needs. I do not have a normal diet. there are more foods that I dont like than I do. this is a huge issue that obviously has lead me to where I am today. I am overweight. this I know. I am more active the last 6 months but not enough. I need to do much more in the way of exercise. What I would love is a little help/suggestions with food, meals. I would be classed as a vegetarian but I dont really like most veggies or salads etc. I have a texture issue and would not be able to sit and eat a plate of veg or salad cooked or raw. most things I eat are bland, mushy or easily broken down. Pasta and melted cheese is my go to food. Because of my thoughts and feelings about food when i have gone to diabetic support classes or dietician in the past it just confuses me and I shut down like a toddler!! I need to take baby steps of cutting things out, introducing good foods and slowly increasing and decreasing over time. Its mostly a mind thing for me but the eating, physical side of it is relevant too. I drink a lot of fizzy juice. I guess that would be the first thing to go and any confectionary. move more and more often. I like nuts, some cereals, can tolerate homemade soups and smoothies although they say thats not a good choice. what other simple suggestions can anyone make to help me please? [/QUOTE]
