Diabetic Diet Zone

thoven8:

You can google that.

But my advice is lay off the high sugar products like candy. Always check the sugar content on food you prepare. Avoid fast food like the plague. And limit your alcohol consumption (it makes your blood sugar fluctuate tremendously).

Good luck and good health!

I found this website looking for restaurant nurtritional info…but it seems to have a lot of great info for diabetics. The website is called Ashley’s Diabetes Information Center (the web address doesn’t really match, but it’s right)
