I was diagnosed about 5 months ago, and I agree that it's a huge challenge to a) get your blood sugar under control and b) understand what foods work and don't work for you.
The good news is, I've discovered that the lower I keep my average BG, the less foods affect my blood sugar. I can eat things now that will raise my BG from 100 to 110 (at 2 hours), where the same food early on would raise it from 150 to 300.
You have exactly the right attitude... one day at a time, control your eating, monitor your numbers, and make note of things that are good or not good to eat.
