Thanks to each and everyone of you who has posted on this board. Being recently diagnosed I am always looking for new recipes and ideas. My daughter who is not diabetic started eating like one about three years ago and she lost about 80 lbs. She continues to do this and has maintained that weight loss even after giving birth to twins. I too have lost about 40 lbs and am feeling better than I have in years. Let's keep this going with new ideas and recipes in the hope that there may be someone on this board who is overweight and could use the help and encouragement. It might prevent someone from developing health problems. Sorry I talked your ears off.
