My dad is diabetic and it’s been a learning process for the entire family. One thing we have learned is that it is not that he can’t eat things – but his insulin intake has to offset any carbs/sugars that he eats.
Here is an article that you should find helpful:
http://diabetes.webmd.com/diabetes-understanding-carbohydrates-fiber
Also, talk to your doctor about nutrition resources. There are a lot of resources out there and your doctor should be able to connect you to a nutritionist who can help you understand how to treat your condition.
Lifestyle changes for the way we eat are difficult and are very confusing. You aren’t going to be able to do it all at once. Instead, I recommend breaking it down into small goals for yourself so over time you will have healthy habits and controling your sugar will be easier.
Here is another link for some diabetes support:

Good luck.

You really should meet with a dietitian or nutritionist, who can help you develop a healthy meal plan based on your calorie needs. It’s not just what you eat, but how much you eat that’s important. You need to know what the total allowed daily intake should be (how many calories a day), then the percentage of carbohydrates, fats and proteins can be set, giving you your answer of how much bread, veggies, meat, etc. you can eat. It’s all about proper nutrition, and proper portion sizes. You can also get some general information on the ADA website: http://www.diabetes.org Hope this helps!

Depends on you size and activity level. I was started at 210, (65 per meal and 15 at bedtime) and have scaled back to 180. There are several small carb counter booklets available at pharmacies, and the USDA has a free software for palm handhelds that provides a searchable database of many common foods.
The important thing is to track your carb intake and glucose level, then adjust carb intake accordingly.
Track you carb on a chart or spread sheet along with the readings. If you see a pattern, like your glucose is too high at dinner time, adjust you carb intake downard at lunch. If you are often too low before a meal increase you carb allowance for the reviouse meal.

Welcome to diabetes ! Okay I know it’s not fun but as long as you keep yourself educated, you will do fine.
There is no one size fits all number of carbs or foods you can eat.
It’s all a balancing act between carbs,portion control,medication and exercise.
It’s a good idea to join a support group and make new friends who can help you through this.
Also a diabetes education class and a trip to the dietitian will help out.
Read everything you can find that was written in the last five years and subscribe to magazines.
It will take a while.Try and relax a bit. Knowledge is power !
Good luck.

Talk to a nutritionist. They will be able to set up a specific diet and explain exchanges to you.

you need to see a dietitian. Check with the local hospital about classes for new diabetics. There is alot of info that you need to know and classes will help you with that. As far as the amount of carbs it depends on your treatment as well as many other things. A diabetes educator and or dietitian can set this up for you, not us strangers.
