[QUOTE="jacquirs, post: 24408, member: 11521"] Hi Guys i have been diagnosed type 2 for about 4 weeks, been to the first spotlight meeting with dietician and plenty of folks who were "senior" am in my early 40's quite bright but totally confused by what is happening and what is best to do. i can see that the whole thought process is carbs with meals but stay away from high GI, but i think that is making me worse! my H*** whatever was 11.7 and the initial blood reading was 21.6 which i am told is off the scale. at the moment doc has told me to diet, lose weight, stay off alcohol and sweet things (don't generally do them anyway) and see how it goes in 3 months. i have been having porridge for breakfast, pasta rice or sweet potato based meals with veg etc but less meat, which seems wrong. Also on monday i think i o/d'd on pasta and stuff and felt very bad until i had a portion of chilli with lots of beans/veg but small rice. any specific thoughts/views on porridge and say blueberries for breakfast? am happy to reduce the carbs generally as they are not that great and have been heartened by the thought of more cheese and other snacks which i thought were forbidden. so far thanks for all the guidance on the threads, am feeling a bit less scared now! off to donate more blood to the cause tomorrow and review with doc next week thanks for reading! :D Jacqui [/QUOTE]
