Hi. Was the blood sugar a meter reading or an HBa1C? The right diet for diabetics will be one where the carbs are kept down. Set yourself an initial daily maximum of, say, 150gm and see how you go with the meter. You can then increase or decrease it as needed. You can make up the lower carbs with proteins, veg, some fruit and fats so that you have essential nutrients and feel ful
