Welcome to the forum
What tips and suggestions which are appropriate for you will depend on how far into the diabetes zone you are and that will be indicated by your HbA1C result, it will be a number above 47 mmol/mol as that is the threshold for diagnosis, also if you have been prescribed any mediation as what may be a suitable approach may depend on that.
The learning zone (orange tab at the top) has lots of information and you may find this link helpful in some do's and don'ts and some ideas for modifying your diet. https://lowcarbfreshwell.com/

Welcome @nocreamcakes
I like your UserName. Top tips from me today are Diet, Exercise, Medication. Not necessarily in that order. Hit the problem from all angles.
