First thing is not to beat yourself up about it. We cant turn back the clock.
I would suggest you invest in a blood sugar monitor so you can check your own bloods and give yourself an idea of how certain foods affect you. There are several cheap, easy to use monitors on the market but make sure you can easily get hold of the strips for them as they can be quite costly.
The good news is that you say you know why your reading was 72 and if you know what's happened then you are better placed to make changes or avoid the same situations again.
If you need to make dietary changes then the low carb-high fat diet has quite a few supporters so that might be worth looking into and there are several sites such as https://www.dietdoctor.com/ with a range of recipes and general dietary advice you might find useful.
In the meantime, welcome to the forums!.
