Hi there @djry
if your holiday was to a hot country a lot of people have more insulin sensitivity and reduce their insulin needs ( sometimes significantly ) and then when returning to our wonderful colder climate bloods can increase on the same doses
( hope that makes sense)

No, not back to square one - you're human, stop kicking yourself! You know you can't eat ice cream etc but there's plenty you can eat. Give yourself time, test regularly and gradually adjust your diet. All will be fine, I had plenty of "stuff" on holiday but guilt is the hardest thing to deal with - and it doesn't help!
Take it slowly and you will see the difference, but make sure you take your meds x
