Hi Debby and welcome
Did your doctor by any chance suggest a diet that will get your blood sugar down? If not, then you need to know which foods contribute to blood sugar and cut back on them that means sugar and anything containing it and starches, Ie. Bread, potatoes, biscuits, bereakfast cereals, cake, pasta and rice. Also any other grain that you might eat, such as pearl barley,and sugary fruits. If you have one of those diet sheets which tells you to eat 7 - 14 portions of complex carbohydrate( starch) per day, then be warned it won't work unless you have portions in teaspoonfuls.
What you can eat is meat, fish, eggs, cheese, green vegetables and salads. Stick to those and your blood sugar will normalise. Don't worry about saturated fats in cheese, they don't affect blood glucose and hey don't cause cholesterol either.
Once you normalise your blood sugar, you can experiment with foods to find out what suits you, for which you will need a blood sugar meter.
