Default What is an example of a diet for a type 2 diabetic?

I have been counseled that I should be on the same diet as a type 2 diabetic because of having PCOS but have no idea what the diet is or should be! Please help :-)

Type 1 diabetics do not produce insulin which allows our bodies to use glucose found in sugars and carbohydrates to fuel our bodies. They have extremely high, deadly blood sugar levels w/out insulin injections and must be very careful on how many carbohydrates and sugars they ingest.
Type 2 are insulin resistant or just don't produce enough insulin and have the same problem just not as deadly.
Try the diabetes association websites for guidelines and help, but basically you have to cut down on carbs and sugars.
