Hi Jeannie, welcome!

I eat yoghurts every day, so I don't see any problems. Try to get ones that are low fat, but watch out for the sugar content too. I think most 125ml pots have about 10-15 grams of carbohydrate in them. I eat muller light.

I wouldn't worry too much about your diet if you're due to see your doctor soon. Just try to eat a straightforward healthy diet i.e. fruit, veg, low-sugar, low fat. Things to avoid generally are things like pies and pasties or fatty meats that have a lot of saturated fat in them.

After I was diagnosed I was surprised at how few changes I needed to make to my diet. It will depend to some extent on whether you are Type 1 or 2, and whether you need to lose weight or not.

Have a look at the Diabetes UK website for ideas for now, and when you se your doctor, ask to be referred to a dietician for advice tailored to suit you and your lifestyle.
