A balance diet is definitely the key. Usually for diabetes, you would want to also include low glycemic index food, such as fiber, to prevent postprandial glucose spike.

Excess of simple sugars eaten with no other food specially protein are very harmful for diabetic patients.
But the worst of all are cocktails of alcohol and sugar with an empty stomach, this will lead you to a rapid hypoglycemia with very negative consequences.
No sugar, no trans fat, no saturated fat, not too salty food. Exercise on a weekly basis. Avoid alcohol, (a glass of wine up to 2 times a week).
Check the (ADA): Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes 2016:

Glycemic index and glycemic load must be considered.

Dear Dr Sundarapandian,
Thank you for your question, please remove protein from the list because protein is a nutrient not a food.
Best regards
I would suggest you refer to something like the Diabetes Clinical Practice Guidelines when making recommendations of this sort.
