Hi June and welcome.
Can you tell us a bit about your diabetes. Things like....
When you were diagnosed and how that came about? ie. Was it just found with a routine blood test or were you symptomatic and if so which symptoms?
Do you know what your HbA1c result was at diagnosis or what your most recent one was if your diagnosis was a long time ago. HbA1c is the blood test used to diagnose and monitor your progress with diabetes.
What if any medication have you been given to help you manage your diabetes?
Do you have much/any weight to lose?
What dietary advice have you been given or are you currently following?
The more information you can give us, the more appropriate advice and support we can offer you...

Welcome to the forum
If this is a new diagnosis it is not unusual for people to not know what to do as they are frequently not given much guidance by their GP.
It will help us help you if you give a bit more information about your diagnosis, such as what your HbA1C is, have you been prescribed any medication, do you need to lose weight, have you been given any dietary advice.
Having a look at this link will indicate that it is a very manageable condition by making the right dietary choices, it is a low carb approach that many have found successful and maintainable for the long term. https://lowcarbfreshwell.com/
However whether it is suitable for you depends most particularly on any medication you may be on. Nevertheless it has a good explanation.
Some folk are quicker than me at typing🙂
