Well, there is a handy dandy tool you can use. It's the Glycemic Index! You will learn that bagels are a no no but an English Mufin is okay as long as you lean eat protein with it. Eating fiber with lean protein keeps your blood sugar on an even level better than any other combination of foods. The lower the carbohydrates, higher fiber with lean protein is best.

Exercise every day for half an hour minimum. The kind of exercise that makes you sweaty and pink cheeked is what you want to do.

Keep an eye on your blood sugar. If you keep in in a notebook with the date and time you can look and see if you see a pattern. If your blood sugar is always out of whack after dinner, plan better meals. If your blood sugar is nutty in the morning, you might have to have a protein rich snack before bed.
