Those baked goods are all high in carbs. Look at the label and limit yourself to 40g of carbs per meal. Don't drink anything with sugar in it until you get to the Dr. and get some guidance. You want to eat your carbs, not drink them.
Why eat crackers? You need to eat meat or plant protein foods, vegetables, a little fruit, and limit the white bread. A little dairy and nuts for munchies. Eat real food, not snacks and munchies out of a bag or box. You will need to cook from scratch or you might try those delivered fresh meals that are being advertised now, until you see the nutritionist and get better educated about what to eat for your situation. I use a microwave and the veggies really taste fresh and good and also taste good as leftovers. Eggs and cheese don't work well in the microwave. It isn't how much you eat so don't think of skipping meals and having a few crackers. The eating will be drastically changed, I am thinking, but you can enjoy eating new foods and developing new favorites. It's a new life for you. Most nutritionists recommend three or four smaller meals and some prefer six meals a day, counting snacks, which i omit. Get going! Dorisena

Drinking lots of water and exercisinng are good ideas. Also, rid your house of all sweets, so you can't be tempted. You must change what you eat, and the specialist needs to diagnose your condition and advise you to start. Then we can suggest foods which help. Think about drinking water and going to the bathroom often to help get rid of the sugar in your blood. No sodas, no alcohol for now, no orange juice in large quantities. The doctor will suggest the meds, if any, and they may be temporary, such as insulin to get the numbers below 200. Do the walking and drinking now. Don't wait. Dorisena
Look at the carbohydrates on the label of anything that you are thinking of eating out of a box or bag. Try to keep your total meals to 45 g of carbs per meal and 15 g of carbs for snacks. You might want to consult a certified diabetes educater to help you learn about this disease.
I wear a Constant Glucose Monitor, the Dexcom G6, which is wonderful. I get a reading of my blood sugar every 5 mins. Ask your doctor about it when you go.

Fruit has carbs. You have to be very careful. A small apple has about 20 g of carbs. Citrus fruit and pineapple are high in sugar. Look at calorieking.com for nutritional info. Stay away from fruit juice. 8 oz of orange juice is 25 g of carbs. I'd rather have 25 g of food carbs instead of 8 oz of orange juice.
