Hi Barbara, welcome to the forum 🙂 I'll go and look for your post! 🙂
 
Welcome Barbara from a fellow T2.
 
Advice & assistance is one thing you wont find a shortage of here 🙂
 
Hi Barbara and a warm welcome to our friendly and supportive forum from another Type2. There's many experienced and knowledgeable folk here so if you want to know anything then please don't hesitate to ask and we'll endeavour to help you. In the meantime check out the link below. You'll find links within that link which you'll find helpful, in particular the book Type 2 Diabetes : The First Year by Gretchen Becker.

I can also recommend the book CARB & CALORIE COUNTER which contains more than 1700 photos of a wide range of popular food & drink items. The carborhydrate ~ calorie ~ protein ~ fat ~ saturated fat ~ and fibre values are clearly displayed in colour-coded circles below each photo. This highly visual approach makes it incredibly quick and easy to see the nutrient content of the food and drink we consume. It's also the perfect support tool for Carborhydrate counting in Diabetes ~ Weight management ~ and general healthy eating. The book can be obtained from Amazon £10.29.

Take care and please stay in touch as to your progress. x

Hi Barbara and welcome aboard!
I'm type 2 and have been since 2003, but only recently joined the forum. Wish I had joined earlier as I have learned loads in the last couple of months, not so much what not to eat (I think we all know that), but what we can eat.
Best of luck.
