Good Morning,
Welcome. I'm a type 2 also and new to the forum but have been diagnosed for a year.
I've found that by dividing my dinner plate into fourths and filling 1/4 with lean meat or fish, 1/4 with a whole grain carb and 1/2 with vegetables helped in the beginning. The hardest part of changing my eating habits was the carbs. No more mashed potatoes, risotto, white rice.
After a year of experience I can say it is getting easier.
