Everybody has cholesterol and potassium. Some people have higher amounts of it than are optimal; but I’ve never heard of anyone with a potassium problem.
Keeping your blood sugar level will help keep the other things in balance. The trick is to eat foods that don’t send your blood sugar skyrocketing, then crashing.
Stick to low-glycemic foods, such as lean proteins, most vegetables (potatoes and — arguably — carrots, tomatoes, and onions excepted), and tart, low-sugar fruits like plums.
Check the link below for a partial list of low-glycemic foods.
Avoid all fast food, except salads. Ditch all junk food, as every last bit of it wreaks havoc on your insulin levels.
Low fat, higher protien, sugar free, and low sodium.
No particular foods are best. Its the overall diet that matters and a diet suitable for a diabetic would be good for controlling the other conditions as well. Did your doctor refer you to a diabetes educator or your local diabetes association? Most communities have an education classes for newly diagnosed diabetics and they cover diet planning in great detail.

Lots and lots of porridge!
