Ah yeah that's true. Hm, do grains really contain that much methionine? I thought that almost all plant-based foods were low in methionine.
Interesting point about eggs. I'll have to do more research into that myself
I did have to respond specifically to the question though, so I did not recommend any other types of diets

It's sensible to try shifting one's diet to higher glycemic index ("GI") foods (after consulting with your primary care physician, this is not medical advice). Indeed, I've seen this recommended to diabetic patients before, and have slowly but intentionally moving my own diet in that direction. Much of the evidence is observational, though, which always bugs me.
People who gravitate towards high GI foods may have healthier lifestyles in other respects, so you'll see a nice correlation with good-health sans causation in an observational study. That sort of thing can be - and obvious as it is, probably has been - regressed out of a large dataset, but there may even be a causal role that's not (or, not obviously) related to the height of blood glucose spike: For instance, (and this came up during the thread on breakfast - last week I think) a meal of high-GI foods seems to leave one less-hungry for the following meal - so, on average, expect lower total calorie consumption, and all the good things that follow.
