Welcome to the forum
@Truckster
Not an easy time in history to be driving a wagon (or ‘larry’ as my Grandad used to call his), so thanks for what you do.
Also must make it tricky to fit diabetes into the mix, because of the pressures of time, and lack of routine - plus a less than complete selection of available food choices!
Glad you have joined us. Hope exchanging experiences with members here give you some ideas for more BG-friendly food on the go. It is the total carbohydrate content (not just ‘of which sugars’) of meals and snacks which will have the biggest impact on your BG levels, so while there are obvious things like cakes, biscuits, sweets and sugary drinks that you will probably have cut out straight away, you might be surprised how much *all* carbohydrate affects your BG levels, including rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, pastry, grains, cereals and many fruits.
The other tricky thing is that diabetes can just kind of sneak up on you gradually - often you don’t realise how weary, worn down and lethargic you have been feeling. Erratic and elevated blood glucose levels can be exhausting and are linked with low mood, but this may have come on quite gradually.
Making a few positive changes can give you more energy, a clearer mind, and a brighter outlook. Many people on the forum later reflect that their diabetes became a sort of catalyst which prompted them to finally make positive changes towards a healthier and more active life - possibly changes that they had been intending to make for years, but never quite managed to.
Do you know the result of your most recent HbA1c check? It will be a number above 48mmol/mol, but may be quite a bit higher.
