Finding it hard to cope Type 2

this is too difficult said:

the doctors say I'm cured. It is only controlled by diet though. I eat low carb and enough fat to make up the difference. Daibell has it spot on.

Hi all

I was diagnosed about a month ago with type 2 and I am currently managing through diet and exercise alone and I am still really shocked scared and confused. I am successfully losing weight (I was about 3 stone overweight) and I have lost a stone already through diet and exercise but I really want to get rid of this. I know people who have and I want to do the same but I'm so worried. I also want to do the Newcastle diet to reverse this but I was advised just to lose weight normally at first I feel as if I am wasting time and I could be sorting this out. I am also confused by carbs most things say balanced diet but I've read so much about them...everything I have is wholemeal or appropriate but I worry if I have toast for breakfast. I feel as if I am just muddling around in the dark I bought a GI diet book to help myself but I feel really unsure if what I am doing is ok. I've got a bit obsessed with testing and this whole thing is making me anxious and depressed.

You will have to make some difficult choices. I and many other here eat very low carbohydrate diets.
It is good that you are testing. Test before a meal and two hours later at least. If you get a high result reduce or eliminate the carbs from that meal. It will get much better. I assumed I was going to die when diagnosed 5 months ago.
I now have no issues with diabetes.
