Diabetic Food Choices

[SoVerySoft]

Someone I know was just diagnosed with diabetes and he is freaking out that he will never eat another delicious morsel.

I know that several of the posters here are diabetic and I was hoping they could post some thoughts about what they can and can't eat, and if the really strict dietary guidelines are etched in stone.

Also, any tips or suggestions? Recipes?

Thanks in advance. I want to put his mind at ease somewhat, if I can.
