When choosing something that will adhere to your diabetic diet, you should avoid foods that are described as being “creamed,” “fried” or “sautéed.” These foods are most likely to contain loads of fat.
Foods that contain a lot of cheese, butter, oil or mayonnaise should be avoided on diabetic diets. If you must taste these foods during your meal, you should order them to arrive as a side item.
Other foods that can stray from diabetic diets include those that are prepared with sweet and sour sauce, as well as teriyaki and barbeque. They contain high amounts of sugar and carbohydrates that should be avoided while on a diabetic diet.
When on a diabetic diet, you should stay away from red meats, eggs, as well as whole-milk dairy products.
Diabetic diets should include foods that are low in saturated fats and cholesterol, such as skinless poultry, fresh fruit, and vegetables.
Overall, there is no official diabetic diet to follow and it really depends on the individual diabetic.
If you are able to work closely with a dietician, doctor, or nutritionist, you will be able to find a balance within your diabetic diet and exercise routine.
Your roomate ought to be asking this question. This is a lifetime disease. So getting the right info is a must. Not a good thing to hit and miss. You are lucky that ( Tin) is here to answer.
Remember Exercise is as important as foods or drugs.
A low glycemic index and load diet is a must. Here is a list of 2,480 foods with their index and loads. http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm
Meats and veggies are our mainstay. The usual saying : white foods are out. White flour, white rice, white potatos, white bread are a no, no.
Carrots: Carrots, raw, diced (Australia) 35±5 80 2
1622 Carrots, raw, ground (Australia) 39±1 80 2
1623 Carrots, peeled, boiled (Sydney, NSW, Australia)8 33±5 80 2
1624 Carrots, peeled, diced boiled (Sydney, NSW, Australia)8 49±2 80 2
The load for carrots is very low, either cooked or raw. Anything with a load under 10 is great. Thats for 80 Grams. So now you have a good source for foods to eat , now convey this infor mation to your friend.
And don’t forget the exercise. Especially if Type 2 diabetic.

The diabetic diet is a minefield of personal problems.
The main problem with diabetes is carbs. Our body cannot use/make insulin, so we have to balance the carbs we eat with the medications we are on.
Some sugars/carbs are absorbed faster than others, e.g pure sugar is absorbed straight away, a complex carb like a potato takes longer.
How long it takes to absorb can also be influenced with how much fat/protein is in the same meal. Everyone’s body differs on that.
Your roommate is going to have a hard tome adjusting. Don’t take this the wrong way, but please, let your roommate decide.
It will be hard on them to adjust to this, so let them decide what diet, what foods are good for them.
Learning is good, it can really help everyone.
But this is mostly going to be trial and error, mostly error.
Let your friend decide, and help your friend adjust.
Good luck
For diabetics, try to stay away from juice, pixie stix, non-died soda, you get the point. I didn’t know they can’t eat carrots. I’m a type 1 diabetic
