Hello and welcome. I'm a newly diagnosed type 2.

Carbs are starches and sugars, all enter the bloodstream as simple sugars which a diabetic has trouble in dealing with. Taking a relaxed attitude to foods without 'oses' would not help with making progress towards normal readings.

Last Easter I had a disastrous dinner, guinea fowl with mushroom stuffing. Largest ingredient after the bird was glucose syrup. Lesson learned.

Hello and welcome

Lots of great advice already. I wrote a blog about my first 50 days - it’s not advice as such but may be helpful.

You’re in the right place for guidance.
