Your doctor is probably referring to the glycemic index which measures the effect a particular food SHOULD have on your blood sugar. A low GI food would likely cause a smaller spike compared to a high GI food which would cause a sharper spike.

As far as which foods are which? It's best to google the subject and there are too many foods to list.

Hey I'm type 1 diabetic taking Lantus and humalog. I experience hypoglycemia,

Although hypo's are impossible to avoid they can be controlled somewhat by getting the basal dose right and working on your insulin-to-carb ratio's, have you done some basal testing of late?

As for low-gi carbs, a quick google search will throw-up a few suggestions.
