Pasta, potatoes, rice, bread (including enriched breads like crumpets) are generally not advisable for diabetics.

Although not generally advisable for diabetics I personally find that I can tolerate, at the moment at least, small amounts of all of those foods without any adverse effects. I do mean small amounts though and the only bread I can eat is one slice of Burgen soy and linseed. It just goes to show how different we all are and I realize that I am very lucky indeed. Maybe things won't change but I'm not banking on it!
I have found that my wake-up Bg's are fairly high without me doing or eating anything at all, due I suppose to my liver dumping glucose to get me going in the morning, so my breakfast is no carb whatsoever, lunch is a wee bit but at my evening meal I can tolerate a fair bit so probably eat most of my carbs then. I have around 60g of carb per day. Remember there are some veges that are fairly high in carbs too. I have a small book which has the carb content of food in it, it's a great help.
Good luck big-daddy with your life changes, you CAN do this but it takes massive changes in ingrained habits. Do you have a blood meter? If not, try to get hold of one okay? And test test test, I found it's the only way to really know what's going on
