In terms of blood sugar level, which the OP seems concerned with, I think the glycemic index is relevant.

I'm no expert (but I am prediabetic - not to brag), but everything I've learned suggests that legumes should form a big part of your diet if you have diabetes concerns. I'm pretty sure they tend to moderate your blood sugar level much more than spike it.
