First, abandon all processed and fast foods. Refined carbohydrates are most common in processed white breads, pastas, and pastries.
They are too easily converted to glucose because they lack the fiber that dampens those sugar spikes. Consumption over time disrupts metabolism and lead to prediabetes, just for starters. Whole grain foods without any trace of processed grains are okay in moderation.
Whole organic fruits have fructose, but not nearly as concentrated as HFCS. Fructose in fruits that are high in fiber dampens the glycemic sugar spike. And organic whole fruits are nutritious. Fruit juices lack fiber however. Processed carbohydrates and sugars are devoid of fiber and are nutrient empty.
Leaning more toward consuming organic legumes (beans), green veggies, and nuts and seeds is actually food as your first medicine. Avoiding processed oils is important, that would be anything labeled partly hydrogenated or hydrogenated, such as those cheap vegetable oils and margarine.
Those are bad fats, and bad fats also create metabolic issues on a cellular level.
An excellent almost medicinal fat that is easily metabolized into energy is coconut oil. Consuming a couple of tablespoons full daily and using it or olive oil for cooking instead of those cheap trans fatty acid oils is very helpful toward preventing and reversing diabetes.
