Pre Diabetes and Reactive Hypoglycaemia

Can anyone recommend a good app that can identity carb units, if that’s the right terminology? Almost a diet app I guess to help with better choices. Today my morning reading was fantastic after day 2 of evening meal and Metformin together. My lowest (fasting if you like) so far at 5.9 I had about 150g of Fage full fat yoghurt with some mixed berries and two hours later I was up to 6.9. Lunch was ham, egg and salad with some coleslaw. Two hours later 5.4. Everyone keeps saying the readings are nothing to worry about but I continue to drink gallons of water, suffer from fatigue and headache most days. I am very new to this but I find websites contradict each other so much
 
I use weightlossresources.co.uk which has a really good food and exercise diary. I find it invaluable for tracking nutrients and carbs - you can set your own macros on there too. It is a paid site, but there is a free trial period I think.

I agree, there is contradiction everywhere.
