Hi @Bluebirdsinging - welcome to the forum. You're doing great! You're asking all the right questions and approaching your journey with curiosity and enthusiasm.
Have you looked at The Low Carb Program? It's a 10-week, step-by-step education program that explains the ins and outs of sugar and carbs, where they hide in what we eat and what we can eat instead. I think you might find it useful!
It's going to take time for you to figure out what your daily targets are and what you can and can't eat, and every single person on this forum - no matter their level of success - will have different targets and foods they can and can't tolerate. What they will all agree on, though, is the huge benefits of finally being in control of what you eat.
It's not the easiest road to travel at times, but there are literally thousands of people here traveling in the same direction as you, and many of them are ready with an encouraging word, patient answer or some sound advice.
It sounds like you might be doing so already, but keep a food diary of everything you eat, carbs, calories and fat. Don't use your meter until 2 hours have passed since your last meal, and set yourself attainable goals with short shelf-lives (week by week or even day by day).
You're going to be great at this!
