Welcome to the forum
There will be lots you will be able to glean by reading some of the posts and having a look at the Learning zone, however a bit more information about your diagnosis, what your HbA1C is, what if any medications you have been prescribed and if you need to lose weight if you are willing to share as that will help people make appropriate comments.
There are many ways that people manage their diabetes and that can depend on a number of factors as one way may suit some people but not others.
But whatever you choose has to be enjoyable otherwise it will be hard to sustain for the long term, people should regard it as a new way of eating which is what it needs to be.
This link may have an approach which suits you, it is low carbohydrate based on real food, that is generally suggested as being less than 130g per day total carbs not just 'sugar' https://lowcarbfreshwell.co.uk/.
This of course may depend on any medications you are on and how far you are into the diabetes zone.
Please feel free to ask any questions as many people do not get much support from their GP surgery and are left confused with what they are supposed to be doing.
