Dear Friend,
Welcome to the forum! I can tell you very generally that we advocate a "whole foods" diet that is low in carbohydrates. We encourage people to avoid refined carbohydrates like bread, sugar, pasta, tortillas, pastries, cookies, etc. A whole foods diet is one that stresses fresh, unprocessed, and unrefined foods. As an Insulite customer you would receive the Insulite Guide that outlines food guidelines thoroughly. With regard to beans, oats, squash, etc, I would recommend limiting your portions of these foods. They are all healthy foods and filled with vitamins and minerals. However, they are pretty high in carbs. If you are going to have some oatmeal, I recommend adding nuts and seeds to keep blood sugar at bay. The key is to eat protein and/or healthy fats along with a carbohydrate-rich food.
I hope this helps! Best of luck to you!

Best Wishes,
