Have you seem Alan S's Test-Review-Adjust advice? http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.co.uk/2006/10/test-review-adjust.html

Do read Alan's blog, it's all helpful to any diabetic really.

And go back to basics, pretend you are newly diagnosed and read Gretchen Becker's book - The first year, Type 2 diabetes.

That way, you will have most of the knowledge you need to shove yourself in the right direction in the future.

In the meantime, cut out white carbs, like bread, cakes, biscuits and rice etc, which will give you a head start we hope, whilst you pick up the best way to manage your health.
