Eating things that are lower on the glycemic index measure seems to help me stay more stable. I have a book on it...but I know there is good information out on the web about low glycemic foods. The other thing that has helped me to eat more lean protein and more healthy fat (like olives, olive oil and avocado). One of my most frequent snacks is a stick of string cheese and a handful of olives....works like a charm for me.

Definitely keep testing, and recording what you eat. Every diabetic is different....so you'll need to keep some records until you learn what it is that keeps you stable and what triggers either a spike or a crash for you.
