Hello @Bompops and welcome to the forum
Good to hear that you are looking to reverse your diabetes, or at least put it into remission. There are quite a few members of the forum that have succeeded in doing this.
There is no 'one-size-fits-all' though.
The causes of Type 2 diabetes, are still not fully understood and are a mix of genetic and other factors – different for all of us, so not surprisingly the solutions also vary and there is no ‘one size fits all’. It helps if you can find a solution that is right for you and sustainable.
Here are some links that you may find helpful:
Firstly there is the Diabetes UK Learning Zone, and there is a link to this at the top of the page.
If you want to know more about the Low-Carb way of eating then Maggie Davey's letter, shows how this lady approached the problem.
If you are considering (or already have) a glucose meter then test-review-adjust gives information on how to go about testing.
If you let us know any particular areas that you would like to know more about, then we will do our best to help.

How did your diagnosis come about? Do you have diabetes in yoir family? Did your diabetes come on suddenly, or has it d
built up over time? Did you see any unexpected weight loss before your diagnosis?
Hope you‘ve been able to adjust OK. A diagnosis with diabetes can be a bit of a shock, but try not to be disheartened, many people later reflect that their diagnosis was a sort of catalyst which prompted them to make positive changes towards a healthier, happier version of themselves. Plus having regular checkups means any potential issues could well be spotted earlier, and any necessary treatment started sooner.
Diabetes is a potentially serious condition, but it’s one that can usually be managed well with a few changes and adaptations. It’s something that you can learn to live well with, and shouldn’t stop you doing things you enjoy.
