There's nothing that diabetics simply CANNOT eat. It's more about eating an overall healthy, balanced diet. Avoid simple carbohydrates as much as possible. Make sure to get plenty of fiber.
If you're going to be cooking on a regular basis for someone with diabetes, I'd suggest reading the American Diabetes Association section "What Can I Eat?" which is linked below. Basically, what diabetics should eat is the same as the healthy diet we all should be eating.

Mr. Hambone I am very sorry to say this as I do not ever wish to speak ill of another person. When Tin S became not only a Top Contributor but THE Top Contributor I stopped participating in this forum for nearly a week. His opinions are occasionally reasonable but they are most often severely biased and without any credible medical basis. Again - please let me apologize for being unkind - and 'thumbs down' to not upset me so anyone is free to attack me in this regard. The answer that stated that there is nothing that is absolutely forbidden is correct. A diabetic must eat certain substances in moderation. If you type 'low glycemic index diet' into any search engine you should be offered a remarkable number of websites that will help in this regard. In addition any 'large' bookstore will have several shelves of books on diabetic diets. Again I apologize for being 'negative'. If I may be of further assistance please let me know. I wish you the very best of health and happiness and in all things may God bless. JR

You might check out Atkins. his diet is pretty much designed for diabetics - and to prevent diabetes. He has a book called "Diabetes Revolution" you can get on Amazon - probably used copies around.
Atkins is great - you don't have to starve, and it makes you feel great. You just quit eating the sugar completely. I've been doing it for the past 10 years - and I'd do it whether I had weight to lose or not.
