[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 508280, member: 94045"] I am new to all this, having been diagnosed out of the blue in January. I believe "baby steps" at first is the way forward. It doesn't have to be done all at once. Taking extra exercise is essential, but that doesn't mean full on workouts at the gym. A 30 minute brisk walk every day is a very good start and a very good exercise. Cut out the obvious sugary culprits. You know what they are. Cut out shop bought junk food. Reduce your carb intake but you don't need to reduce it too low initially, do it gradually. Baby steps. You are right at the beginning of this journey but before long you will be in the groove and more relaxed about it all. Keep a strict food diary. There are apps to help with this. Write down everything that passes your lips. Read food labels and learn how to calculate how many carbs/calories/proteins.fat/fibre etc you are eating. Try not to stress too much as this will not be helping! [/QUOTE]
