Hi Jo and welcome to DF! Try and avoid or limit foods that are high in Carbohydrates as these will raise your blood sugar. Paste, rice, breads and potatoes can have a detrimental effect on your glucose readings. I'd also recommend that you get the book, The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed (First Year, The) by Gretchen Becker and Allison B. Goldfine. It should help out alot.
