Ms. Thang !
It is worth buying it.A revolutionary new low-carb diet for diabetics by the doctor who pioneered a successful new approach to the disease–with 100 original mouth watering recipes. For diabetics, diet is more than a lifestyle choice–it*s the key to controlling the course of their disease. Many diabetics struggle their entire lives to maintain a healthy weight, but the guidelines given to them by the American Diabetes Association have proven unhelpful in regulating blood sugar–the critical component in keeping diabetes in check. In THE DIABETES DIET, Dr. Bernstein serves up the groundbreaking low-carbohydrate approach to diabetes care that has enabled his patients to take control of their disease by regulating their blood sugar without the usual swings.Dr. Bernstein himself is living proof of the success of this method, and he has the science to back it up. Plunging into the current debate on low-fat vs. low-carb diets, he shows that, especially for diabetics, low-carb is what will change lives–and he offers 100 delicious all-new recipes to help keep diabetics on track for life. The recipes and advice in THE DIABETES DIET will provide readers with an easy-to-follow guide for controlling their disease and regaining their health and well-being. An engineer by training, Bernstein pioneered blood glucose self-monitoring and the tight control of blood sugar that is now accepted as the standard treatment of diabetes. He entered medical school at the age of 45 in order to publish his findings.

I am needing some recipes that are for diabetic. I am on a very low fixed income so the ingredences needs to be cheap. I have more time than money. So I don’t care if it takes a while to make things. Plus I do love to cook. If you know of a free web site that I can do a whole menu for a month on that would be super. Or even a group that I could join as well to help me with this.

Here is a web site with recipes…………..

I hope some of these help you.

Good luck.

Can anyone put me in touch with something like pre-planned Diabetic Menus? I would like to get an idea of how to go about planning these several small meals each day. Thanks!

check this link, really informative about Diabetic..

Ive just been diagnosed and I love sweets and biscuts but they are off the menu now. what can i eat as a diabetic- what is safe?
products fromm uk or rieland not american products please!

Sugar free products. Checkout Holland and Barrett – they’ll definately do some stuff for diabetics. Boots and Superdrug do stuff as well.

You can even buy pick n mix online if you like to buy online: http://www.sweetsandrock.com/cats/sugar_free_sweets.asp All on that page are suitable for diabetics.

Have you not discussed this with a doctor or nurse? Do you have a blood glucose meter? You should.

I’m type 2; my doctor recommends 50 carbs per meal, three times a day. Best carbs are complex carbs (potatos and the like); avoid simple sugars (they’re traumatic to the system). At least the minimum daily of fiber (25 grms), more is better. Drink plenty of water. Veggies are good snacks; salad is a good filler when you feel hungry, for a snack. There are a lot of foods that used to be "forbidden," but now have low-carb versions — even ice cream. Take blood sugar reading mornings after you wake up. If below 72, drink a small glass of juice to bring your blood sugar up, then eat your morning meal.

I was recently diagnosed with pre-diabeties and am wondering if anyone has a really great food (diet) menu? I am doing everything that I can exercise wise, but am finding it hard to find a good pre-Diabetic Meal Planning menu. Does anyone have any other health pointers to help avoid turning this into full blown diabetes? I am a 25 year old female in otherwise general good health. Thanks so much.
