I was recently diagnosed with t2d as well. I was able to get mine down, but it has taken a month to do so. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit a Diabetic Nutritionist and she gave me some guidelines to follow.
30-45 carbs per meal
1800cals per day
1/2 plate for veggies
1/4 for protein and 1/4 for carbs (still keep carb #'s under 45 per meal
lite low carb snack between meals
She also told me strictly no bananas, no watermelon.
Also if you are forced to eat on the road as I am due to a lot of traveling with work. There is a pamphlet called "life in the fast lane" It has the carb values for a lot of dining out choices. You would be amazed at the carb and sugar values from one hamburger joint to another.
There are a lot for good and bad food choices out there so chose wisely and never be afraid to ask for help. Your life could very well depend on it.
