I Am A Thin Type 2 Diabetic, Recently Diagnosed. I

I am a thin type 2 diabetic, recently diagnosed. I do not need medication at this time. Since my doctor warned me not to lose weight, I have been watching my carb intake but I have been freely eating cheese. What can I eat that would be nutritious but would not cause high cholesterol (I am on simvastatin and always have a high HDL)

Please do not share my email address or do anything with it except to answer my question. Thank you.
