Just got diagnosed and honestly have no idea what to eat

I got diagnosed with diabetes recently and I'm kinda overwhelmed with food now.

I keep asking myself what I’m actually supposed to eat and what I should avoid. Then when I find recipes, most of them are either too complicated or take forever.

I also realized I have no idea how to properly read food labels or figure out how many carbs are actually in a meal.

And planning meals for the whole week feels like another job on its own lol.

Did anyone else struggle with this when they first got diagnosed? What helped you make food feel less confusing?
