That's because there is no one diet that we all eat. Please do not listen
to Todd. He says things that are just plain wrong.

What you need to do is what I said to begin with. Get something to use as a
log book. Get a meter. Test before and after eating. See what works for
you.

If you don't have one, get a book that lists food counts. Particularly the
carbohydrates. Some fruits such as bananas and oranges have more and faster
acting carbs. So these are good things to eat if you have low blood sugar
and need to raise it quickly. But not good to eat every day.

Ask your Dr. to hook you up with some diabetes education and a dietician.
