The American Diabetes Association in 1994 recommended that 60–70% of caloric intake should be in the form of carbohydrates. As mentioned above, this is controversial, with some researchers claiming that 40%[11] or even less is better, while others claim benefits for a high-fiber, 75% carbohydrate diet.

Despite a common belief that table sugar contributes to the development of diabetes, it has medium (55–69) glycemic index that actually produces lower blood glucose levels than the same number of calories obtained from some other sources of carbohydrates. The Canadian Diabetes Association recommended that table sugar be included as part of the diabetes diet.[14]
Some studies have suggested that adding vinegar to food may help to prevent carbohydrates putting up blood sugar too dramatically.[15]
Based on the evidence that the incidence of diabetes is lower in vegetarians, some studies have investigated vegan interventions.[19][20][21] These studies have shown that a vegan diet may be effective in managing type 2 diabetes.[22][23] Switching diabetics to a vegan diet lowered hemoglobin A1C and LDL levels.[22] A vegan diet may improve blood filterability.[24] Vegan diets may lower advanced glycation endproducts.[25]
Diabetes U.K. state that diabetes should not prevent people from going vegetarian – in fact, it may be beneficial to diabetics to go vegetarian, as this will cut down on saturated fats. Recent evidence suggests that diabetics may benefit from as many as eight portions of fruit and vegetable a day.[citation needed]
Due to their high levels of dietary fibre certain foods are considered particularly beneficial for diabetics such as legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables.[26]
Research has shown the Maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa) has a hypoglycemic effect, and may be beneficial for the management of diabetes.[29][30][31][32][33][34] The reason Maitake lowers blood sugar is because the mushroom naturally acts as an alpha glucosidase inhibitor.[35] Other mushrooms like Reishi,[36][37] Agaricus blazei,[38][39][40][41] Agrocybe cylindracea[42] andCordyceps[43][44][45][46][47] have been noted to lower blood sugar levels to a certain extent, although the mechanism is currently unknown.
The Pritikin Diet consists of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and so on, and is high in carbohydrates and roughage. The diet is accompanied by exercise.
G.I. Diet – lowering the glycemic index of one's diet can improve the control of diabetes.[48][49] This includes avoidance of such foods as potatoes cooked in certain ways, and white bread, and instead favoring multi-grain and sourdough breads, legumes and whole grains—foods that are converted more slowly to glucose in the bloodstream.
Low Carb Diet – It has been suggested that the gradual removal of carbohydrates from the diet and replacement with fatty foods such as nuts, seeds, meats, fish, oils, eggs, avocados, olives, and vegetables may help reverse diabetes. Fats would become the primary calorie source for the body, and complications due to insulin resistance would be minimized.[18]
- A very low carb diet to allow much tighter blood sugar control.
- For an adult, the allowed carbohydrate amounts are 6 grams for breakfast, 12 grams for lunch, 12 grams for dinner.
- Avoiding all foods with added sugar, all foods with starches, all fruits.
- Blood glucose testing up to 8 times per day.
- Target blood glucose levels that are nearly constant for the entire day.
- Weight loss for obese people with type 2 diabetes.
- Exercise for all those with type 2 diabetes.
- Basal and bolus dosing for insulin users, a technique that he invented in 1972.
- The patient takes responsibility for blood sugar control.
High fiber diet – It has been shown that a high fiber diet works better than the diet recommended by the American Diabetes Association in controlling diabetes, and may control blood sugar levels with the same efficacy as oral diabetes drugs.[50][51][52]
Paleolithic diet – The Paleolithic diet has been shown to improve glucose tolerance in humans with diabetes type 2,[53] humans with ischemic heart disease and glucose intolerance,[54] and in healthy pigs.[55] These are a limited number of studies in a limited number of subjects, but the knowledge about the benefits of the Paleolithic diet in diabetes is emerging. The scientific foundation for the Paleolithic diet and the relationship between what humans eat and diseases of the western world (including diabetes, hypertension, obesity, ischemic heart disease, stroke) is the subject of a comprehensive textbook, which is geared towards both professionals and interested laypeople alike, and which spans over 2000 references.[56]
The diet is also known as the paleo diet, paleodiet, caveman diet, Stone Age diet, and hunter-gatherer diet.
The Paleolithic diet consists mainly of fish, grass-fed pasture raised meats, eggs, vegetables, fruit, fungi, roots, and nuts, and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, potatoes, refined salt, refined sugar, and processed oils.[1][2]
