I was diagnosed 5 days ago with type 2. I am starting on insulin to get my numbers down and then doctors are hoping to have me control with just mess and diet. My glucose level started at 334 last week and I am down to 159 today. Learning what I can and can't eat is my biggest challenge right now.

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.
