Dear sir
Yes indeed you need to make an appointment with the dietitian because.
1. Diet forms the vital part of treatment for diabetes
2. you are already taking metformin two times a day,so dietary modification is very important
since you had surgery for bleeding ulcers there are several foods like spicy foods, which needs to be completly avoided and needs to be substituted
Thanks
