a Diabetic myself, with an A1c of 5.7, anything you can find on this site is good. What you do have to watch out for is "simple" carbohydrates" because they will spike your sugar level and drop quickly. Eat only "complex" carbohydrates.

If you go by the Glycemic Index, keep within the foods with a low index. See similar questions...
