Hi I was diagnosed type 2 beginning of February. My bg was 77. My doctor prescribed 3 x metformin a day. I decided not to take them.From that day I changed my lifestyle. I started a chicken fish and salad diet. Researched endlessly about diabetes. I have lost 3 stones and today my h1bc test was 34. You can do it if you put your mind to it. Good luck.!!
You can do it

Well done leakypete! You can sustain a lower weight and normal blood glucose levels going forward if you stick to a modified diet. In my case this is LCHF which has become the norm over time. You have done brilliantly so far!!!!!!

You don't need to stick to a restrictive diet - at least, I have found no need to do so.
Any meat or fish, eggs and cheese, full fat yoghurt and there are many low carb veges to choose from. I do stir fries, casseroles, curries - and have berries a couple of times a week. The thing to watch is the amount of carbs - protein and fats are pretty much essential for good health.
