There are no "good" and "bad" foods. You can eat everything, but you need to space out the carbohydrates through the day.
ON this page, see "What I need to know about eating and diabetes."

Also, go to http://www.diabetes.org
Click on the "newly diagnosed" link.
You can buy diabetes books, diabetes cookbooks, and lots of other things at this site.

If you have Type 1 then your doc should have told you what to eat or at least his dietitian.Usually they tell you how many grams of carbs you should have for meals and snacks. Stay away from any sweetened drinks,sodas,candy,cookies,pies,cakes etc. Some veggies have high carb contents like potatoes,pastas also bread and bread products.You really should be under the care of an endocrinologist.Try the sugar free products they are delicious.Also important is that you eat regular meals and snacks at the same time each day.

Do you have juvenile onset - type 1 or pancreas underproducing insulin type 1?
Go to the American Diabetes Association home page, and click on Nutrition and Recipes in the left hand column. I'll bet there are some suggestions there.

stick with high fiber nutrient dense foods to include a variety of brightly colored fruits, vegies; high fiber cereals, breads, tortillas, wheat thins, popcorn, potatoes(small ones), and soy foods. sweeteners such as Stevia, a natural high fiber sweetener, derived from sweet leaf and can be found in powder and extract form is better for you than Equal, saccharin, and Splenda and helps control blood sugar. diabetics can eat what non diabetics can eat but we have to watch portion control. make sure to exercise daily as well. exercise and fiber is a diabetics best friends. i have been a diabetic for 16 years and am doing very well. drink a lot of green tea, black tea, and water, also. good luck

It is not the same for each person. The doctor will give you a chart and when you go see him again he may change it some depending on the lever of blood sugar. Don't go looking fora panacea.

Your medical staff will go over that with you. It's not a matter of which foods but how much of each kind etc.... It's not too hard once you get a chart..... google might help too. I didn't look though.
