Hi again Kevin,
That statement worries me because many of us have found that what dietitians recommend doesn't do us non-insulin-dependent Type 2s much good at all. The dietitians were always telling me that my diet was good - i.e. a high-carbohdrate and low-fat diet with cereal for breakfast, bread sandwiches for lunch and potatoes, pasta or rice with my evening meal - and oat cakes for snacks!
I learnt later, by testing, that it was the starchy carbohydrates - i.e. cereals, bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, pizza etc - that were causing my blood glucose levels to continue to rise. Once I learnt that message and cut back on those food types my situation reversed - i.e. all my numbers now being much better than they were at diagnosis nearly ten years ago and any symptoms that I had experienced have disappeared.
The first lesson that you will need to learn is to beware of what dietitians tell you!
By the way, the tablets may help a little bit but don't expect them to sort out your problems for you. Diet is the way to go! I'm expecting to get off my tablets very soon.
Best wishes - John
