Welcome back @ivygirl
Good to see you again!
Well done for deciding to tackle your diabetes a little more head-on, rather than continuing to push it into the background.
Perhaps it might be helpful as part of your reset to keep a food diary for a week or two. Be brutally honest! Note down everything you eat and drink. It can be especially helpful to estimate the amount of carbohydrate in the meals and snacks to give you an idea of which foods are the main sources of carbs in your menu.
There are obvious things like cakes, biscuits, sweets and sugary drinks that you will want to 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 - so identifying where the major sources of total carbs (not just ‘of which sugars’) are in your menu can be really useful.
Ask away with any questions 🙂
