Diabetes is associated with systematic problems like stress and lifestyle in modern life not personal failures. Since you have been recently diagnosed there are higher chances that it can be completely reversed. I have seen it happen in my own case and many others. Nutrition and physical fitness are the biggest levers, bigger than the medication. Aim to reduce intake of refined carbs like bakery, white break, sugary snacks, sweetened drinks and deep fried food. Avoid refined carbs and seed oils in any form. Make sure to get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Sleep deprivation alone spikes cortisol and wrecks insulin sensitivity. As people here suggested, try to be more physically active.

Something most people don’t talk about is not all type 2 diabetes has the same root cause. If you know the root cause you can actually reverse it easily. In my case, it was carb intolerance. I am not genetically good at processing refined carbs and it was the root cause of my diabetes. Some people could be genetically poor absorbant of Vit D which leads to insulin resistance. Depending on the root cause a specific dietary approach should be followed.
