Heya From A New Joiner

[MinxyMel]

Heya Everyone

I have type 2 diabetes, been diagnosed over a year and on a weekly injection and daily tablets. I am looking forward to increasing my knowledge and finding new recipes and ideas to help get me back on track and reducing my levels again

Do you eat a low carb diet or have any restrictions on food choices?
It will help to know what to suggest.

Welcome @MinxyMel 🙂 What kind of things do you like to eat? People here follow a wide variety of diets. You could look at the What Did You Eat Yesterday thread or perhaps browse through the recipes and meal planners on the Diabetes U.K. site:

https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/eating-with-diabetes/meal-plans

If it’s specific recipes you’re looking for, then do ask. I’m sure lots of people will have suggestions and then you can pick what suits you as an individual 🙂

What precise meds are you on (ie the names)?
