Hello I am a new member today, I am classed as pre-diabetic and I am looking to reduce my blood sugar reading and at the same time loose weight! Decided to join and take charge of more healthy eating. My daughter has just been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes so I would like to support and encourage her along her journey.

Welcome to the forum @Alfie2023
Sorry to hear about your risk of diabetes, and your daughter‘s diagnosis with T2.
If you would like a good overview of T2 diabetes, to add to the knowledge you’ve already picked up, you might want to register for an account with the Learning Zone (the orange tab in the main menu) which is packed full of informative bite-sized modules. Additionally, for a more personal take, members here frequently recommend Maggie Davey’s Letter to the Newly Diagnosed and Gretchen Becker’s book T2 Diabetes, the first year, which you can work through gradually and will give you a solid starting point.
Good luck, and let us know how you get on
