My best advice, aside from losing weight, is to buy a glucometer. Walmart has some for $10. No prescription is required and the test strips may be available at no charge through your insurance (with a prescription).

Everyone's metabolism is different. A food plan that works for one person may not work for you. It's easy to eat and test your glucose to see exactly how your own body responds.

I'd also recommend paying attention to and testing your reaction to sugar alcohols and so-called "net carbs." Personally, maltitol raises my blood sugar just the same as cane sugar.
