You should eat a well-balanced diet composed of sufficient amounts of protein and minimize high glycemic index foods.  High glycemic index foods are those which convert to sugar quickly in the body --the higher the number, the more peaks and valleys in your blood sugars.  I like the data base shown on medosa.com, but there are many other websites which list the glycemic index of foods.  Try to pair a carbohydrate with a fat to slow the release of insulin in your body.  Consult a trained health care practitioner to help you with meal planning if you are not familiar with the nutrient values of foods and how to shop efficiently.  Diabetes can be managed in most instances with the proper combination of food choices and exercise.  Good luck!
