Hi folks, lots of good advice here so thanks for sharing. Ive had T2 since about 2009, Ive had spells when Ive been a bit careless resulting in me developing a rash on my arms and back which scared me a bit. So over the last 18 months or so Ive really made an effort and so now my blood sugar level has been very good for a while. One thing Im sure has helped is that I dont use cows milk much now, I put it in my tea but use Oat Milk, Soya Milk, Almond milk etc on cereals etc. I cut down on red meat and now have oily fish and chicken regularly, and plenty of vegetables. I walk everywhere ie if I need something from the shop, I go to a shop a mile or so away so I do a 2 mile walk rather than a few yards to nearby shops. So I reduced my weight from 12st 3lbs to 10st 12lbs. At Asda and Morrisons there are a variety of sugar free biscuits called "Zero" ie Digestives, Chocolate etc and they are very good quality. Cereals such as oats, shredded wheat and Weetabix are sugar free, but I avoid Corn Flakes, rice crispies and many others such as Bran Flakes even have got sugar in them. You really need to read the labels to see how much but you would be surprised. Even items such as Tomato Soup has got lots of sugar ie too much for diabetics.
