I was just diagnosed with Type 2 diabnetes Chat Icon

In addition to natural remedies, my DR wants to manage the diabetes through food and exercise as well as glucose monitoring.

How has this impacted your diet goals if you have diabetes? I am sure it will bolster my efforts because now I have to be extremely conscious of what I put in my mouth...I am going to be OCD about it for sure. If food is making me feel the way I feel due to diabetes, then I can't eat those things anymore.

So what do you eat? He gave me a list and its BOOOORING but I have no choice. BUT just eatiing a simple dinner of brown rice and veggies last night made me feel a lot better. Any ideas? Meal planning?

Thanks!
