Hello from newly diagnosed type 2

I would love to hear from anyone who has done a similar thing about next steps.

I'm planning to keep doing what I've been doing for the next 3 months and see if it stays the same, but after that I'm wondering if (without going back to my previous daily meals which I now realise were very high carb intake) I could have the occasional bowl of porridge or jacket potato without it ruining all my hard work?

I think occasional is exactly it. I am still sticking with my low carb but usually if out for a meal may have chips but only eat half of them or less, the odd scone, a sandwich but leave the crusts. Make the choice of what you have for whether it is worth it for enjoyment.
