With all due respect to the Diabetes Association, most dieticians will tell you to eat healthy whole grains and a great percentage of carbohydrates.
The more carbohydrates you eat, the more insulin or pills you will need.
In my opinion, an excellent diet for anyone who is diabetic is a Paleo Diet . You can do a Google query an find a lot of information on the web. With a limited amount of carbohydrate, a good amount of protein , according to your weight and the balance fat you will be well on your way to eating right.
Good luck!
