Hi.
I have just been diagnosed type 2, taking metformin and Gliclazide 2 tablets am and pm.
Both my parents were type 1. I had 2 fasting blood tests done, first was 20.9 and the other 19.9. My highest reading so far is 26.8 after dinner.
The question I have is what is the best food to eat for breakfast and dinner. I now have shredded wheat with skimmed milk and this put my reading from 14.6 to 19.4 when I take the reading 2 hours later. Also with my dinner, I have meat veg, small amount of potatoes with weak gravy and my figures go from 12.2 to 20.2 2 hours later.
I know I'm new to this and still getting my head around what I can eat but any suggestions what will bring my figures down would be very much appreciated.
I am a HGV driver and my licence has been suspended until my figures get stable and the blurry vision and burning eyes go.
Thanks
Mike
