Hi and Welcome @Rosiek
I'll keep my advice short and sweet as you've already received enough to overwhelm.
Be gentle on yourself, it'll be easy to stress and obsess over every number on your monitor and every morsel that passes your lips. However don't. Your monitor is your best friend, it's numbers don't lie and you will see the results of the food you eat. Adjust things slowly. We are all different, for me personally I can just about enjoy my potato (although a smaller portion to what I used to eat) but I find anything that is made from grains (bread, pasta, porridge etc raises my bg a lot. I find that a good cooked breakfast (eggs, sausages etc) has a negligible effect as there's relatively no carbs to create a problem. Take care and learn you will be surprised as to what you can and cannot eat.
