Hello
@Andy Kendrick welcome to the forum. It’s a shock when your first told , it probably seems as though you’ve been left to flounder around in the dark atm. Feel free to ask any questions, we’ll do our best to help.
How did you come to be diagnosed.
Just to get you started as you’re probably thinking what the heck can I eat. Well it’s carbohydrates our bodies can’t handle to well esp the fast acting ones,try to cut down a bit on potatoes esp mashed, rice, pasta, bread esp white and things made with white flour. (Sugar in all its various forms including fructose) is just another fast acting carbohydrate, fruit juice though considered healthy is packed full of fructose as are grapes we call them little sugar bombs on here, breakfast cereals, things that are made to be low fat but ate not naturally so , ie diet/low fat yogurts as they often can more carbohydrates added than the full fat version, this is done to make them taste better.
New potatoes are often tolerated better, many here have Burgen linseed and Soya bread, high protein bread , some people are fine with wholemeal bread.
We normally have no problems with protein or good fats, so things like cheese, butter, cream, meat including high meat content sausages and burgers, veg that grows above ground , mushrooms, their is no need to dump your frying pan. Nor do we live on a bland diet.
Come and have a look through this thread to see what we eat

. I now borrow a neighbours dog (not sure why but it makes it easier an motivates me to go), I’m managing about 45 - 60 mins and actually enjoying it! I don’t go every night as it depends when I finish work. I aim for at least 5 out of 7 nights if i can and it makes a visible difference to my bloods, my mood and my sleep
