Yes, it is VERY hard to go on a specific diet after eating anything and everything you wanted.
The solution is to change your mind set. There is still plenty to eat and you will NEVER go hungry. Once you accept the fact that you have Type II and you change your mind set, things will be easier.
Type II is a very dangerous disease, but can be controlled. Not sure how old you are, but start controlling it NOW. Good luck. Pops

Few dieticians know what works. The ADA diet guiodelines are completely inadequate. See what works below. I went from A1c's of 13 to 3.9 - 4.1 and dropped 70 lbs in 10 months, NO MEDS
Diet mod is FOR LIFE, literally. You may feel fine, but you have a very serious disease that will significantly shorten your life and the quality of your life if you don't take charge.

I'm with Pops.
Diabetes, type I or II is all about maintaining a balance of insulin (or insulin stimulant), activity, and carbohydrate metabolism.
If you don't want to stop eating things you like, you can do two things:
1) Exercise more, and when you do it, do it vigorously. Exercise burns up excess fuel that you are consuming.
2) Eat less of the things you like if you can't exercise enough.
There is a third thing that I don't recommend for type II's and that is to just compensate with adding or stimulating more insulin production. Type I's have more freedom here.
Additional insulin will convert your excess fuel directly into fat. With type II's, fat is what got you into the problem in the first place, so you don't want to add more fat. It will tax your already burdened pancreas with even more burden, and it will burn out. Then you will require insulin injections. Type II's often become resistent to insulin injections and die early.
Keep a balance. Food doesn't taste so good when you're dead.

The dietician gave you a whole list of things that you should and shouldn't eat. It is a lifestyle change you are making. You will learn what to eat and in what volumes.
Make sure you moniter your sugar multiple times a day in the beginning. Yes it is hard, but the long term effects of diabetes are worse.
Good Luck

Unfortunately, I am not knowledgable in the diet...however I am a nurse on a surgical floor of a hospital and too often see pt with diabetes related ailments- amputations due to vascular complications, diabetic ulcers, kidney failure due to diabetes...I'm sure your physician spoke with you on all of these and many more. Everytime you want to reach for something not on your diet (which your doc should send you to a diabetic educator/nutritionist-they are available, ask for a referral) remember the horrific complications associated with this disease. The instant gratification of a craving will only last a moment. Your body must last a lifetime. Good Luck to you.

High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all. How to treat diabetes naturally https://tr.im/XJDwb
Symptoms of type 1 diabetes:
Increased thirst
Increased urination
Weight loss in spite of increased appetite
Fatigue
Nausea
Vomiting
Patients with type 1 diabetes usually develop symptoms over a short period of time, and the condition is often diagnosed in an emergency setting.
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes:
Increased thirst
Increased urination
Increased appetite
Fatigue
Blurred vision
Slow-healing infections
Impotence in men
If you think you have diabetes i think you should have a checkup and speak with your doctor just in case.

Don't eat big meals. Eat small meals more often to keep your sugar more stable. Proteins are great.
Every time you think about cheating....please think about all the damage you would be doing to yourself. It will catch up to you in time--playing with your blood sugar, that is. Remember-- circulatory problems (foot amputation, anyone?) eye problems (blindness) peripheral neuropathy (severe leg pains--if you still have them....) I know that sounds harsh, but it's the truth. I have a niece who is diabetic and that's how she stuck to it.
Maybe THAT will keep you on the right foods until you get used to this. And you will.

Neuropathy is really a unpleasant condition but with the book of Dr. Randall Labrum, Neuropathy Solution, a book you will discover here https://tr.im/e1H68 you are able to remove thermosetting suffering that condition trigger it.
If you follow all the treatment answers presented in Neuropathy Solution guide effectively your mind can discharge endorphins, or “pleased chemicals”, and these can help you counteract pain and reduce stress.
The Neuropathy Solution does not have an excessive amount of principle, just helpful advice as you are able to put to work immediately.
