Hi @Jasperleah
I haven't seen anybody post this link for you: The Nutritional Thingy. | Diabetes Forum • The Global Diabetes Community
I am/was one of the 10% or so slim Type 2 diabetics (now in remission). My remission from Type 2 D is purely due to dietary changes including Low Carb and eating fewer times per day (also called Intermittent Fasting).
While low carb is the best way for many, some people don't get on very well with it and prefer a starvation diet or bariatric surgery instead. I find it hard to understand, but they actually do. So there is no same right way for everybody.
I used to eat supposedly low fat (high 'healthy grains'). for over 10 years before my 3x bypass and then my T2D. I certainly blame the '5 a Day' and the 'healthy whole grains' for my T2D diagnosis, not so certain about my 3x bypass. But since eating Low Carb (higher fat) and High Protein my Lipid (cholesterol) ratios have much improved and I have ditched the Statins (which incidentally can also increase Blood Glucose, as can Steroids).
So don't fear traditional fat like butter and cheese, in eggs, or on bacon or in fish because it is those fats (not the 'vegetable oil') that will keep you feeling fuller for longer.
