I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and while my doctor gave me general guidelines, I'm struggling to translate them into a sustainable daily routine, especially around meal planning and understanding how different foods affect my blood sugar beyond just counting carbs. I'm looking for practical advice from people who have been managing this long-term. What tools or methods do you use for consistent glucose monitoring and logging, and how did you develop a realistic approach to diet and exercise that doesn't feel overwhelming or punitive, allowing for occasional flexibility without major spikes?
