Hello and welcome to the forums. You have found your way to what I consider the best place on earth to find help and support as a newly diagnosed type 2.
If you haven't already done so I highly recommend that you get a meter. A meter is an invaluable tool in letting you know what effect different foods have on your levels.
I wish I had been as optimistic as you when first diagnosed- in fact I was pretty much the opposite. I have no doubt with your positive attitude you will be able to tackle this challenge.
Welcome and good luck.
