Hello @jane-mc ,
What was your HbA1c?
It may be helpful to start reducing some of your carbs such as breads, potatoes, and rice. It may be best to have a chat with your GP first before you make any drastic changes.

I have an underactive thyroid as well as T2 ( T2,diagnosed last November). I've found, cutting my carbs have really helped with weight loss (22lbs, lost since Boxing Day) as well as general wellbeing.. Going on my pre-dinner and after dinner finger prick test, it's also helping with lowering my blood glucose.
