My mother was recently diagnosed with Diabetes so I had the same questions myself. The best foods to eat are low-fat and high in fiber. You should avoid anything that is high in sodium and you must monitor foods that are high in carbohydrates closely. Here is a great link with examples of these types of foods: http://docgerrytan.com/2007/01/05/foods-to-eat-if-you-are-a-diabetic/. Hope this helps.

'Diabetic food' may refer to the types of food that are beneficial or harmful for individuals with diabetes to consume. Beneficial foods include foods with low sodium and sugar, and minimal processing (such as, the processing that removes the whole grain from white bread), and harmful foods include the opposite. 'Diabetic food' may also refer to diets that are more likely to prevent or cause diabetes, with diets high in sugars, sodiums, and processed fats more likely to cause diabetes, and diets low in sugars, etc, more likely to prevent diabetes.
The diabetic food chart contains much, much less sugar filled foods as these cause problems in the digestive systems of diabetic people. Fatty foods should be avoided.

Dave's Marketplace sells foods for diabetics in Rhode Island, and has nine stores across the state. However, being diabetic you do not need to eat food labeled as 'diabetic' but rather should aim to follow a healthy, natural diet and avoid sugary foods. You can eat many foods including all meat, poultry, fish, eggs, butter and cheese products. I would recommend that you speak to dietitian who would be able to tell you more about the best foods to eat and to avoid as a diabetic.
