Everyone in my extended family has diabetes, so it seems likely enough that i will develop it at some point. So just out of curiosity… what can’t you eat if you have diabetes?

Stay away from foods high in sugar or carbs. If you are diabetic your doctor will want to to consume a regulated amount of carbs thoughout the days, consistant carb diet, this will make it easier to control you blood sugar levels. He will give you specifics on this if you happen to need them.

One diet in particular is "The Diabetic Diet" as described in the book of the same title as well as a more comprehensive book on blood glucose normalizations in the book Diabetes Solution [1] both of which are written by Dr. Richard K. Bernstein who has had Type 1 diabetes for the past 55 years .
