I'm starting this thread because there's a least a couple to three of us that are diabetics and need suggestions, recipes or any information that will make life a little easier. I know that cutting the carbs will help losing weight because I've done it before to the tune of 52 lbs. Well, that was six years ago and about 40 of those have found their way back to me.
I started taking diabetic meds almost a year ago and the sugar still runs high in the mornings. The wife doesn't know how to cook for me and if left to my own I get really tired of just eating salads. I could get by eating meat for all of my meals but the heart side of my problems screams at me if I do.
Doc wants me to eat three meals a day with a couple of light snacks in between, but with the running I do most days I find it difficult to get two meals in and a snack before bed. Yep, I know I'm screwing up with that one late one.
Anyway, if you have secret recipes or ingredients that will help please post them.

Cut the meal portions way back and eat healthy, no snacks.
We rarely eat away from the house , the Mrs has most everything from
desert to the main course is low carb.
She has ticker issues and me with diabetes. Get more exercise.
If I am going to look at something I walk instead of getting on the Mule.
Have my 30 day glucose average at 116 that is testing 6 times a day.

I only test in the morning when I first awake before consuming anything...
when had trouble with the lawn mower I bought a push mower and cut grass three or four evenings a week now...
when I go look at the cows in the neighbors fields I generally take the horse rather than the tractor now....
very difficult to eat out and eat healthy and not go broke....
big difference is my wife is struggling with the new menu....I do more that half of my own meal planning and preparation now....
