Maintaining lower glucose levels: in sequential order, what foods should i avoid eating (i can easily handle a strict diet)?

Healthy diet: To maintain healthy glucose levels, it's best to avoid concentrated sweets, such as table sugar and sugar sweetened foods and sugary drinks. Emphasis on complex carbs, lean protein and good fats (monounsaturated, such as olive oil) is the cornerstone of a healthy diet and one that avoids spikes in blood sugar.
