I do know the green veggies are the best for all of us and you can stir fry with them. I do make my own soups and stews. Use a lot of chicken so that protein will be good. I do not fry a lot. Also remember that eating something 6 times a day is great for diabetics. I do not much use recipes so cannot help there.
Indeed. My doctor gave me the best advice many years ago. He was diabetic as well and he told me that diabetics have to watch 3 things: Salt, fat and sugar. It has been very useful advice, as whilst chocolate is low GI generally, it is obviously full of fat- and therefore, off the list! This can be applied to anything one eats.
