Default 47 year old just diagnosed.

I am a 47 year old male just diagnosed with type 2. I only weigh 175 and I am 5'9" so i am not over weight. I am having problems getting my numbers down below 100. Only on metformin 500mg ounce a day. Totally cut out alcohol and almost all sugar. Need advice on carb counting. Help!

Welcome to the Forum!

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.

I was recently diagnosed with t2d as well. I was able to get mine down, but it has taken a month to do so. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit a Diabetic Nutritionist and she gave me some guidelines to follow.

30-45 carbs per meal
1800cals per day
1/2 plate for veggies
1/4 for protein and 1/4 for carbs (still keep carb #'s under 45 per meal
lite low carb snack between meals
She also told me strictly no bananas, no watermelon.

Also if you are forced to eat on the road as I am due to a lot of traveling with work. There is a pamphlet called "life in the fast lane" It has the carb values for a lot of dining out choices. You would be amazed at the carb and sugar values from one hamburger joint to another.
There are a lot for good and bad food choices out there so chose wisely and never be afraid to ask for help. Your life could very well depend on it.
