Is anyone else completely lost with food after a diabetes diagnosis ?

Ever since I found out I have diabetes I've been overthinking basically everything I eat.

Like... what should I actually be eating on a normal day?

I want simple meals that don't take a ton of time, but I also don't want to keep eating the same 3 things every week.

Then there's food labels. I look at them and sometimes still don't really know what I'm supposed to be looking at.

Meal planning and keeping track of carbs has been a struggle too.

For people who've been through this already, what was the hardest part for you in the beginning?
