I'd advise having a good read-around on these fporums - lots of good advice and different approaches. have a look at the success stories section - you'll see that there are a number of paths. Whren I was (eventually) diagnosed I went straight on to a very low carb way of eating, and I've stuck to it since late 2019. I've limited myself to around 20g carb/day as a matter of course. This works for me - I find it's easier eating no (or nearly no) carbs rather than trying to count. Most of my carb comes from green veg.  In the last four and a half years my A1c hasn't ever been out of normal range: and I've lost a lot of weight - I'm not sure how heavy I was when I started (my scales didn't cope) but I'd guess about 20 stone.  About 13 and a half now, and heading for losing about a third of my starting weight. You need to find what works for you, both in the short and the long term.  Some willpower needed.</blockquote>
