Welcome to the forum

Sorry to hear aboout your diagnosis. How has your first year been going? Do you take any medication to help with your diabetes management?
There’s a very long running thread in the food section where people jot down their daily menus which might give you some interesting ideas.
B - back on 1 Burgen toast and 1 boiled egg. L- 3 small homemade grilled lamb seekh kebabs and salad. T- Grilled chicken salad and 1 spicy lamb chop. Snacks- only about 22 Almonds all day. I think I win on the most repetitive daily food eater and most boring, I can't believe what I used to eat...

Many T2s on the forum find that moderating or lowering their carbohydrate intake by varying degrees is a helpful part of their BG management. So while there are obvious things like cakes, biscuits, sweets and sugary drinks that you will have wanted to cut out straight away, you might be surprised how much *all* carbohydrate affects your BG levels, including rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, pastry, grains, cereals and most fruits.
That’s not to say that you have to avoid all of those things entirely, but reducing portion sizes and choosing the types that suit your body best is really helpful.
If you offer a few ideas of the sorts of things you like to eat, our friendly members may be able to make some suggestions for adaptations, swaps or tweaks to make those meals more BG friendly?
Lots of members here have recommended Gretchen Becker’s book
