BigShyPussyKins has already started a thread for Diabetes and Alcohol so I am going to restrict this thread to food diabetics can eat. Please post your serious medical questions to her thread as there are people here who know a lot more than I do about the condition.
Here I would simply like to pose this question for diabetics, for those who want to avoid becoming diabetic through what they eat, and for those who know of great recipes that a diabetics could safely eat.
For information purposes, there are two classes of diabetes depending on severity: they are type 1 and o type 2. Here is a good description on CNN's Website and other on WebMD::

Here is a recipe that I use to make an special dessert for myself and other that I love. I call it
"Blueberry Dream:"
First I rinse some fresh blueberries and take a palm-ful of them and place them into a cereal bowl.
I like them best at the bottom.
Second, I cover therm with 2 tablespoons of NO SUGAR Cool Whip (be certain it is NO Sugar)!
Finally I sprinkle the top of the Cool Whip with about 12-18 rice krispies.
The blueberries are a delicious wonder-food and will give you most of the flavor, the Sugarless Cool Whip will add smoothie goodness to them, and the rice krispies will give the dish a little crunch.
De-lish!

I'm not diabetic, but I like to eat healthy and often this works for diabetics too.
You should try dishes with Quinoa if you don't already - it's a whole grain with a very low glycemic index and it has tons of fibre, proteins, vitamins and phytochemicals. It doesn't raise your blood sugar and is just a great option for clean eating and healthy living. You can also just add it to your regular salad for additional texture and flavour.
Basically you just prepare it similar to a rice (or use a chicken or vegetable stock to make a pilaf) and then add finely chopped veggies like bell peppers, carrots, celery and a bit of parsley. You can add a touch of olive oil and rice vinegar or a bit of your fave dressing.
It's a great side dish with veggies and your choice of lean protein (like fish or chicken).
