[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2451316, member: 511345"] Hello and welcome, I am a fellow type 2 and was devastated when I was diagnosed. This forum gave me the help and support I needed. I went very low carb and that has resulted in my blood sugar levels being within the normal range for more than 2 years now. When I was diagnosed I couldn't imagine a life without carbs- I am a real carbolic. I use artificial sweeteners as that helps me remain very low carb. My daily treat is a diet jelly- no carbs. There are a lot of resources to help- one thing that I found helped was to google 'keto' and whatever you are missing. Just one thing I found- very low carb is easier for me than a higher level of low carb- I am an all or nothing type person and crave less the less I eat carbs. I have been eating more than usual recently- still low carbs so have gone back to very low carb to stop the carb creep. However, there is no one size fits all- we have people who approach their diagnosis in many different ways. My suggestion is to use the meter regularly to work out the effect different foods have on your levels and then think about what you can sustain. Keep posting and reading- there are some truely amazing people on here who are happy to help. Good luck and welcome. [/QUOTE]
