Question: Any Type 2 Diabetes Daily Diet Plan suggestions?
Hello, I am 33, male and weigh 72 kg and live in the Persian Gulf.
I used to weigh 81 kg. I was diagnosed for Diabetes Type 2 almost 4 years back. My fasting BGL (Blood Glucose Level) ranges from 110-145.
Doctor has prescribed me metformin (500mg) twice daily after meals, but I have stopped this medicine as I don’t feel like I should take it at this age.
Also because of the medicine, I don’t indulge in physical activity like cycling, walking and etc.
I informed my doctor for stopping the medicine and he says the best medicine for Type 2 Diabates is walking and keeping myself physically fit.
Please advise me what should be the daily meal plan that I should follow in order to keep my BGL normal. Should I go by 3 normal meals a day or 3 small meals and 2 snacks in between?
If I go for 3 normal meals + 1 hr physical activity daily then which is better choice for me from the menu below.
Breakfast: Which is better choice Weetabix/Oats or just whole meal bread with Light Jam Spread + Tea (no sugar).
Lunch: Beans (Red Beans/Butter Beans/Kidney Beans etc…) + White Rice or Fish/Chicken + Rice
Dinner: Light Tuna Sandwich + Vegetable Soup or Brown Pasta + Green Salad
Thanks.

You have carbs all day long in this diet. You need to bring your insulin level down for 12 hours per day. This diet will keep your insulin level elevated all day..
I suggest you do not have any carbs after lunch… no sweets, no pasta, no rice, no beans and no breads at dinner or anytime after lunch. You will feel better quickly if you get your diet straighten out.
If you eat a lot of pasta or bread at lunch you will feel hungry later in the day. Eat a balanced lunch of meat, bread and greens and you can have a sweet with your lunch. Meat, fish, greens, vegetable soup for dinner.
While it is impossible to know what you should eat, we can make suggestions.
Metformin is safe and is the greatest help in managing my type 2 diabetes. Give it a go again.
Your diet should have 6 1/2 cup servings of non starch veggies , 3 1/2 cup serving of fruit , lean protein and milk or other calcium.
We all need carbs so try and have 2-4 carb choices a meal. You can add a 15 carb or less snack if you like.
Your best bet is to talk to your doctor and a dietitian.
Good luck.
