Diabetes Type 2

[DarceyK123]

Docs told me I have diabetes type 2. But not been very helpful on what I do now.

He's prescribed Metformin 500mg X 3 per day, is that bad? He told me there is a talk in about 3 weeks time on lifestyle and food so go to that for more info.

But I'd rather get going now, I've googled a bit but very confused.

Is there anyone of you who actually live with this condition who could give me a few tips in the meantime on lifestyle, foods I'm allowed, those that are a complete no, no.

Thanks for any help.

sqad, I am thankful for your advice.
Apologies for the link.
Darcy, I have been doing as sqad has suggested regarding smaller portions etc. and so far it is working.
Good luck. We are in the same boat :)

Thanks again for caring.
I'll see how I go, seems like a lot of trial and error.
