Suggest Diet For Diabetes

HI , I'm Andrew. I've been recently told that I'm now diabetic. Taking 500 mg of metformin pills. Trying to decide which diet to try to lose 22 lbs.?? Not sure what to do or eat right other than cutting out all sugars.
Sorry, thnx for your time. I'm going to bow out.

Hi thank you for your querry,
As you mentioned you are diabetic and iys type 2 diabetes in such case insulin is produced by the body but its senstivity decreased mostly due to increased truncal obesity.
you want to reduce your wieght it better to take regular exercise reduce the fat and sugar diet increase vegs and fruits,
but meanwhile give much attention to your sugar level because if its not controlled it will effect each organ of the body so in diabetes gastropresis is common so take tab.dompeidone 10mg twice 15 minutes before food.
in diabetes increased risk of coronary artery disease increased so with regaular BP and sugar monitoring after every 6 month must do EKG to rule out any ischemia.
hope the answer will help you to asses your condition.
