One good thing would be to get a glycemic index of vegetables and fruits. Vegetables vary quite a bit in sugar content. Carrots and sweet potatoes are high. I use pumpkin as a substitute for sweet potatoes to make a casserole. It is a job to cook for a diabetic but well worth the effort.

I too was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes ... I'm still learning and all this info has really helped! Thank you all!

My husband was in the diabetic range and with eating low-carb, he is now back in the "normal" range (not even prediabetic)! The best Low-Carb cookbook I have found is "500 Low-Carb Recipies" by Dana Carpender. She has written a few books, including a Low-Carb one for the crockpot. Start there, and have fun learning a whole new way to cook!

Thanks for the tip! I have changed my eating habits and so far has lost 15# and I'm exercising daily.

Hit the used books stores or thrift stores for some diabetic cookbooks. There is a good site that also has daily e-newsletter. , I wish I could remember the name. Will come to me later like midnight when trying to fall alseep.

I have 45 Low-carb cookbooks (they have lower carb recipes than recipes in diabetic cookbooks) and most of them (about 30) have come from thrift shops. Low-carb was very popular in 2004 and 2005 and I continue to find those cookbooks in thrift shops as people clean out their cookbooks.

I'm curious about the pie shell since it contains white flour and fat. Is this a regular pie shell you are using?
