| Welcome Kristina! Most of us learn more from each other than we have from our doctors. Nothing like living it day to day to help you find out what works and what doesn't.
Are you on any meds at this point? Do you check your blood sugars regularly? Do you get regular exercise? Do you limit your carbs?
There's a great book, "The First Year, Type 2 Diabetes," by Gretchen Becker, that is a great resource. Even though you've had diabetes for awhile, it would still be a good read for you.
I'd encourage you to test your blood sugars often. Testing 2 hrs after your first bite of food will allow you to see how different foods affect your blood sugar, and help you make smarter food choices.
Hope you post often...its a great place for support/encouragement and information.
