Reload Table when View Controller has been navigated backwards to

I have a table in one view controller and a "+" button to add to the table. The "+" button brings you to the next view controller, which contains a dialog and a "Save" button to add a new item to the table. upon clicking the save button i use the function

[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

to bring it back to the previous viewController with the table. The table does not repopulate by itself and until i go back one more view controller and then reopen (which re-initializes it)

So i was thinking i could use this function

[self.tableView reloadData];

to reload it upon opening the viewController when i have navigated backwards to it.

Is there a function that is called when a viewController is viewed after clicking the back button on the next viewController?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you want viewWillAppear. UITableViewController's do some stuff already in viewWillAppear but you need to subclass in order to have it reload the table as well.
