Practical guidance for living with Type 2 diabetes
Type2Advice is an independent information site for people living with Type 2 diabetes, and for those supporting them. The aim is to make sense of the flood of advice around diet, lifestyle, and everyday management, without hype, fear, or unrealistic promises.
Living with Type 2 diabetes often means navigating conflicting advice and strong opinions. This site takes a calmer approach: focus on what is supported by research, what tends to work in real life, and how to make sustainable changes without turning daily life into a constant project.
The content here covers nutrition, lifestyle habits, medication awareness, monitoring, and practical routines. Low-carb approaches feature prominently on this site, not as a universal rule, but as one evidence-based option that many people find helpful alongside medical care and personal preference.
