There is no one-size-fits-all diet for diabetics. In general, the foods that spike blood sugar the most are carbohydrate. That means bread, grains, oatmeal, rice, potatoes, noodles, pasta, corn. You will often hear people talking about 'good' unrefined carbs versus 'bad' refined carbs but in reality, a carb is a carb. All carbohydrates turn to sugar in the blood, so wholegrain bread is the same as a sugar donut, it all becomes pure sugar. As diabetes is about uncontrolled high blood sugars, all diabetics need to be careful in their consumption of whatever spikes blood sugar the most, i.e., all carbohydrate.

You should eat to your meter. Buy a blood glucose meter if you have not got one already. Log everything that you eat. Test 2 hours after eating. If you are under 140mg/7.8 mm/ol, then you are OK. If you are above this target, then you need to look at what you ate. Either reduce the portion, or cut it out entirely.

Everyone's body is different. Only by testing will you find patterns that are right for YOU, and only by testing will you know how much carb you can eat. Note too that the amount of carb you can tolerate might be different depending on the time of the day (most people are more insulin resistant in the morning), the time of the month if you are female, stress, and exercise.

diabetics can eat anything they wish to eat. However cottage cheese, yogurt, low fat milk, and other low fat milk products have a very nasty tendancy to spike my glucose over the moon so I go with one tablespoon of any of that stuff. And that amount is hardly worth putting on a plate.

You must decide for yourself if a food is worth having in your food plan. Test your glucose, eat a normal serving of that food, test again 90 minutes after finishing the snack. If it spikes your glucose more than you like, decide whether you wish to delete that food, eat less of it less often, or if it is really important to you if it is really worth having it often.

Cottage cheese doesn't affect my blood sugar too much, but I always get the highest fat content I can find and I keep my portion at one serving.

However much you eat, make sure you test your blood sugar afterward, as that's the true test of whether you, a Type 2, can eat it.
