Type 2 diabetes

[Tricia Lea]

After I had my thyroid surgery this summer, I was told I have type 2 diabetes.
I am learning to eat better. Its been a change, On the good side I am loosing some weight. Just wondering anyone else have diabetes, How are you at glucose control.
They tell me if I loose enough weight I might be able to come off the medication. I am only on Metformin and would love to not have to take anything if possible.
How do you plan meals and snacks?
Just looking for ideas

The nutritionists won't say this, they're even opposed to it, but it's been proven over and over, if you cut starches from your diet, or at least cut way down, your blood sugar will stabilize. There's a new study out this fall that also confirms this. Starch turns to sugar in your system and your body treats it like any other sugar. So cutting down on starches will control your blood sugar better. It's also good for those who are insulin resistant.

See: www.holdthetoast.com for some great information and recipies.
