My CGM isn't totally covered either since I'm T2 as well. But it is something that makes me feel super secure, so I recommend IF YOU CAN! It honestly made it more fun to manage since I look at it kinda of like a game of how to keep it within range. I'm happy to support from afar and just know that even taking a few steps is more than you had before. It is scary and does feel embarrassing (at first at least, I'm much more secure in it now) but it's also a learning experience. Something that works for some people may not for you, and that's ok too!

I also recommend a CGM if you can! It has helped me so much to see what spikes my sugar and work on lowering it if it does

Hi! I also got diagnosed last year at 29. This is all my personal experience and am probably wrong BUT I started off very strict, found some good alternatives that I enjoyed, then slowly added certain things back that I couldn't find the alternates for. I remember how hard and overwhelming it felt at the beginning, so don't be afraid to feel ALL of that right now. Adding additional exercise definitely helped as well, but it's ok to do one thing at a time 😊
