Dr. Richard Bernstein's diet, not just for diabetics
Dr. Bernstein's own history, and his success in helping others, moved me to read his books. His recommendations were the impetus for me to go from low carb to very low carb.
Here is a link to part of his main book online.
His recommendations of 6 carbs for breakfast and 12 each for lunch and supper, as well as constant protein amounts, keep the blood sugar stable, and avoid excessive insulin spikes.
I found his book very moving and inspiring.
As diabetes can be triggered by eating sweets and starches, I decided to keep a WOE which would be the best prevention.
Hope this is of use to others. 
Maintenance WOE: ruminant meats and fat, egg yolks, chicken liver, fish, butter/cream, herbs/vegetables, water/tea. Carbs under 20.
We have, however, in the first place, the need for a strength of character and will power such as will make us use the things our bodies require rather than only the foods we like.
-- Dr. Blake Donaldson, from "Strong Medicine".
