Generally speaking, look for something that refers to the Glycemic Index. Foods with a low Glycemic Index tend to raise blood sugar slowly. Sugar is a 100. Potatoes, especially highly processed have values over 100 because they raise glucose levels faster than sugar. Foods like beef have very low glycemic indexes. But overally, you want a balanced diet that cuts about 1000 calories a week out of your diet. To improve insulin resistance you must lose weight. Whether you lose it by eating just chocolate or a balanced diet does not matter, but an unbalanced diet carries other health risks. Check out Weight Watchers, look at the American Diabetes Website and consider diets such as the Mediteranean Diet.

American Diabetes Association is your best resource for planning your daily diet.
Well-balanced is the key.
It's better for 6 small meals per days rather than 3 big meals.
Eat EQUAL amount (number of servings) of carbohydrate sources (flour, bread, corn, pasta, rice, cereal…), protein, and fat each meal.
To calculate the amount servings of carbohydrates, protein, fat to determine EQUALITY (e.g., 3 servings of carbohydrate for lunch each day when eating different types of carbohydrates), search for ADA diet or American Diabetes Association.
Fruits are high in sugar, so be aware of them though they're good for your health.
Vegetables usually do not cause a fluctuation (back and forth, in this case, increase and decrease) blood glucose. So it's wise to consume as much vegetable.
