[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 665469, member: 94045"] Hello and welcome. You are not alone. Most newly diagnosed type 2's are confused. We were all in the same boat as you when we first arrived here. The lucky ones find this forum, where all the advice comes from other diabetics rather than NHS staff. It is typical for NHS staff to push carbs because they push the Healthy Plate way of eating, but as carbs convert to glucose once inside the system they are therefore not good for diabetics. The worst culprits are bread (of any colour), rice, pasta, cereals and potatoes. The best way to learn is to obtain a blood glucose meter and test strips. By testing before and after eating you will see which foods raise your levels and which don't. It will be the most useful tool you can have. Have a good read round this forum, take a deep breath, ask as many questions as you like, and please stick around. [/QUOTE]
