Wekcome, and good you are cuttung out soda. You should start counting carbs or start keeping track of what you eat. I used fatsecret.com and iphone/android app. I suspect you are getting more carbs than you know. Anything made with white flour(bread, pasta, wraps, etc), rice, breakfast cereals, juices are all loaded with carbs. And not all carbs are created equal some process more quickly in the body and can spike your blood sugar. Everyone varies as well and what spikes some may not spike you. As well as what helps/works for others may or may not work for you. Your meter is your best tool, test before eating something and then either/both 1 & 2 hours afterwards and see how it affects your bg.

Good luck in controlling your bg.
