Hi, and welcome. This is certainly the place to learn more about your T2, and it'll come from members managing their diabetes day-to-day. How did your diagnosis come about - did you have symptoms or, as often happens, was it picked up by a blood test for something else?

Welcome to the forum @RushMan
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 that you can work through gradually at your own pace.
Alternatively, for a more personal take, you might find Maggie Davey’s Letter to the Newly Diagnosed helpful. It’s one woman’s reflection on her own experience of diabetes, and the things she wishes she had known from the start 🙂
Good luck, and keep asking questions as they arise too.
