Hi, I have been diagnosed for 3 years now- type 2.
As i have gall bladder problem I am seeing all food as not available due to containg either fat,sugar or carbs.
HB thingy too high so really need advice on meals.

Welcome to the forum, it is tricky to balance different medical conditions and what works for one person will not be suitable for someone else so it become a bit of trial and hopefully not too much error. @NotWorriedAtAll has just mentioned that even going a high fat keto dietary regime has not adversely affected her gall bladder situation.
To manage blood glucose levels then reducing carbs is a good idea but that does not mean no carbs so there is plenty that you can eat, meat, fish, eggs, cheese, vegetables, salads, fruits such as berries but keep portions size of high carb foods to small.
this link may help with some ideas for meals and some do's and don'ts and you will see the variety of foods you can have.

Perhaps you would like to say what your HbA1C is and if you are on any medication for your diabetes. Some examples of meals you have may help people spot any foods which may be an issue.

Welcome to the forum @Sugarfairy

Sorry to hear you are having to balance multiple conditions, which don’t always play nicely together.

Which medications are you taking? And are any of them intended to help with your blood glucose management.

Perhaps one way to start would be to get a BG meter (your GP surgery may be reluctant to provide one), and to start with a gall-bladder-friendly diet, then use the meter to see which of those choices cause the least blood glucose disruption.

People can respond to the same foods quite differently, so it can be quite difficult to judge things just based on their reputation, as your own response may not match that!

The most cost effective meters members here have found are the the SD Gluco Navii or the Spirit Tee2 which have pots of strips at around £7 for 50 (some other brands would set you back £25!).

You can take a reading just before eating, and again 2hrs later. Ideally you’d want your glucose to have risen 2-3mmol/L or less by that time. Even if your numbers are a bit higher than you'd like at the start, if you keep the ‘meal rises’ small, your overall levels should start to come down gently.

Not sure if @eggyg will be able to suggest any foods that work for both gall bladder and diabetes?
