[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1613288, member: 438800"] I know exactly what you mean. I can really only speak from personal experience. After my diagnosis, I bought six or seven diabetic cookery books. I trawled the web. The more I researched this thing, the more confused I got. I bought a couple of books with extreme diets in them, including one called "The End of Diabetes" that advocated a "nutritarian" approach (basically, eat humongous quantities of vegetables; you may have to buy an extra fridge, it was said). You start out with an advantage over me, and over many others with T2D: you found this forum soon after your diagnosis. You are getting a lot of advice. You will find your own way, choosing or rejecting advice that does or doesn't make sense to you. As long as you make a significant reduction in the carbs you eat, then a few months down the road when you get your next HbA1c test there is a reasonable chance of progress. Dozens, nay, hundreds, perhaps thousands of people on this forum have managed to do this. [/QUOTE]
