Welcome! No reason to be scared out of your mind...take a breath and realize you've been given a warning. Test, test, test is the answer and avoid those carbs and you'll be okay. Your weight sounds okay to me for your age. Almost model-esque in my mind. In any case, just eat carefully and watch your blood sugars.

Your BMI is within the normal range, by the way.
