Hi Snowy and welcome.
One tip. Unless you have medical problems that prevent this, I would ditch the spreads and go back to butter, same with yogurt and mayonnaise. Eat the real thing. Most "light" products are crammed with sugar to make it taste nicer. Some are better than others. But don't look at the "of which sugars" bit. That is fairly meaningless for us diabetics. It is the Total Carbohydrates that you need to look at. (the sugars are included in this, and carbs are the culprits in raising blood sugar levels.)
Did your DN tell you to eat pasta? I expect so. pasta, bread, potatoes, rice, cereals and pastry are foods we have to be very careful with, whatever their colour.
Don't worry, you will soon get used to things. Baby steps.
