| Jillybean,
Welcome to the forums, great to see you have come through the initial emotional roller coaster and have come out fighting!
This is really a great place, lots of information, really great people, you'll love it here.
Great to see a Doctor giving good advice about carbs, so many of them just don't get the idea of reducing carbs.
There's a good book you may want to have a look at called "The first year: Type 2 Diabetes" by Gretchen Becker.
How often are you testing? If you test before each meal and then two hours after first bite, you will learn what foods work for you and which are best avoided.
Good to have you with us,
