What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

 
I was diagnosed only a week ago and I feel overwhelmed as well as starving - have no idea what to eat to actually feel feel remotely full? My reading earlier was 14.9 it's terrifying me but feel lost as where to start to help myself - I desperately need a shopping list
 
See https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb for some ideas of what to eat on a low carb diet which will help you reduce your blood sugars.

Basically, you need to avoid or reduce high carb foods such as breakfast cereals, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta. Also, avoid fruit juice and fruits high in sugar such as bananas and grapes.

6.5 this morning, higher than I'd hoped as I havent deviated from a low carb diet and am maintaining good exercise ( 4-5 miles walking per day)

You might want to try some resistance exercise maybe with dumbbells, focused 5 mins with good form could make a significant percentage difference.
