Seriously debate anything with "sugar alcohols". These are used to sweeten sugarless items, and may affect your blood sugar in very bad ways.
Keep in mind that fruit can be your friend.
Cheese may seem to be basically sugar-free, and it even says that there are no sugars. It lies. Go easy on the cheese as the lactose that makes it up doesn't count as sugar, even though it has the same effect on blood sugar. Ergo, watch how much dairy is in your diet.
Don't get too fanatic about your blood sugar levels. It's all about management, not control. This is not to say that you should have a huge piece of cake with ice cream on it, but you can have a small slice, if you've allowed for it.
Really debate diet sodas. The sweeteners they use can actually increase your blood sugars more than you would expect.
