Bit disappointed my result was 46 6 months ago it was 44 before that 42 , I admit I have been not too strict with my diet like rasberry royal from M&S plus a bit of ice cream for desert but think now I must pull my finger out as not on meds yet, how many carbs should I look for as max. When busting from supermarket ?
I also have been having quite a few croquet potatoes etc,

you should get a blood glucose monitor, some strips and test your blood periodically.........when you wake, before meals, and 2 hours post meals........

this will tell you what foods work for you and what don't......

I wouldn't know how many carbs is good for you personally but choosing carbs that have a slow, gradual effect on the blood sugar is a good idea, LOW GI.....

you still have insulin control, so helping your pancreas react to the glucose from the carbs is wise....
