@sandie2101 one thing I've learned about being type 2 diabetic is every diabetic is different but the same.
Different weight, height and personal fat threshold.
Same need for bg control and weight.
The 2hr after eating carbs rule has been my saviour. I've been very lucky to have enough test strips on prescription to explore my no-nos.
My advice is do one thing at a time. You don't have to dash off exercising heavily. In my experience it has complicated things too early on. Once bgs are nearing normal range and your happy with where you're at you could increase an exercise regime.
But for now test after 2hrs on porridge, oatcakes and bread especially.
Explore with butter in veg. Seasonings too. Anything to make veg taste good to you.
Make veg your base of your meal.
I'm sorry nuts wont work for you but cheese squares are a brilliant appetite suppressant.
Enjoy your food there's plenty of it.
