Welcome to the forum
Would you like to share a bit more information about your diagnosis for example were you getting symptoms and what was your HbA1C result, have you been given any medication and/or dietary advice. How far into the diabetes zone will indicate how much work you will need to do.
Sorry for all the questions but it helps people give appropriate suggestions and advice.
This link may help you with some ideas for modifying your diet and answer some of your questions.

Hello @alfiebongo and welcome to the forum!
A diagnosis can certainly be overwhelming and can feel like there's lots to learn, but take your time with it and it will all fall into place. Remember that no question is a silly question so ask away!
