Welcome to the Forum!

Learn to count carbs......

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.

Take a look at Type 1.5, as well.

Yes, learn to count carbs and test, test, test. I found Jenny Ruhl's books on the subject very helpful.

I am new to this, but I am finding
for me that eating every 2.5 hours smaller meals helps me keep My sugars in line. Anyone else notice that?

Sometimes doctors diagnose Type 2 for no other reason other than that you are an adult at time of diagnosis. Have them test C-Peptide to see if your body is making any insulin.
