Hi James...I think you'll find that some health care professionals do not always give the best advice when it comes to your diet...once you're 'settled in' you'll be able to swop ideas with the other members here...you'll soon find a balance...between what does and doesn't suit you...many including myself follow a low carbs high fat diet...its working for me...as for the book...can be ordered online...I got mine from Amazon...well done with the smoking...I haven't managed to stop yet...good idea to ask for help with that...very difficult to go 'Cold Turkey...' I have a Vap ready...plan to give it GO next week so wish me luck with that...overall you've made a good start...but don't push yourself too hard...build up steadily...have a good day.
You SMOKE, please start vaping asap. I make my own juice, its a sneaky way of curing my sweet tooth. Banoffee Pie is my favourite.

If you get the vape right, you wont miss smoking.
 
I just have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes inside last 2 weeks .
I had been suffering l symptoms ,ie . Drinking water on a regular basis due to dry mouth , feeling tired a lot of the time , and generally feeling unwell. I went to gp and had bloods done and week later was confirmed type 2 . I have a blood sugar meter and my present reading is 17, I seen my practice nurse today for consultation but to be honest it was a bit of a blur to me as I suffer from social fobia +depression , I am going to stick to my meal sheets nurse give me ., sorry if I am leaving any information . Iout , I really don't use Internet much and know very little about diabetes . Best wishes to you all from Belfast N.Ireland
Welcome James. If I where you I would go for a walk etc after my tea & be as active as possible. After a meal blood sugar goes up & that's what you need to try & avoid. Good luck 🙂
