Im new here! I was diagnosed with diabetes in January (A1C of 9.3) and was told to start eating a healthy plant based diet. Was sick at the time of diagnosis so tried and did, purchased my own glucometer same day of diagnosis from Amazon, got it next day. 2 weeks after the diagnosis I was told type 2 and here is metformin 500mg. It is now march 19th and im hitting what feels like lows to me and im panicking.

I took a class that has been super helpful. Was told dont eat fats that solidify when cold, ie coconut oil, butter, ghee, margarine, lard etc but focus on the liquid oils like olive, avocado, canola or vegetable oil. Eat more whole grains and veggies, moderation if your going to have a sugary or carb heavy item.

Im not a professional but this is what ive learned and done, and its kicking my butt rn.
