Having type 2 diabetes means you are not able to control sugar that you eat. When you eat sweats and starchy food, they absorb as sugar in your blood and since you have diabetes, you are not able to bring that sugar down to normal level on your own and overtime high sugar in the blood damages a lot of your organs. If you avoid simple carbohydrates (sweets and juices and sweet drinks and some very sweet fruits) and decrease starchy food, you will be able to control sugar with diet in addition to the medications your doctor prescribed for you (probably). It is always a good idea to also meet with a nutritionist for dietary advice tailored to you as a diabetic.
Hope this helps.
