There is such a thing as the Diabetic Food Pyramid; designed to help diabetics struggling to manage their diet. This pyramid contains breads, grains, and starches; vegetables; fruits; meat, meat substitutes, and protein; dairy; and fats, oils, and sweets. Your goal as a diabetic is to stay as close to the top (the breads) and as far away from the bottom!
