There is a lot of information about - low carb and keto versions of many recipes are available., even bread, cakes and biscuits can be made low carb - I get Lidl's range of sugar free fizzy drinks and squash. If I drink any alcohol if is usually spirits as beers are high in carbs.
Most days though I have coffee with cream, maybe twice, but sometimes I go for days and just drink water.
 
Hi Jesse James, welcome to the forum.

Was there anything in particular that you wanted to know about food and drink? Essentially , reducing carbs and sugar is the simplest way of thinking about things. I find it easier to opt for meat and veg where possible and up my water intake until your numbers are some what stable.

We've got some helpful info on our main site that may be helpful to have a look at also https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/eating-with-diabetes/i-have-type-2-diabetes.

Feel free to let us know if you have any specific questions we can help with.
