Diabetic Diet & Blood Gluecose

My diet consists of Fish, Shrimp, Beef and Chicken, fresh fruit, fresh veggies, and low fat dairy products. No breads, potatoes, rice, grains, or pastas. I also can not have tomato sauces, gravies, or cream sauces. Nothing battered or fried.

What I am looking for is new ideas for Dinner Recipes. Making use of the items I can have, herbs and spices. Web sites and online cookbooks for Diabetic Recipes is also greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Brittle means I test 4 – 6 times a day and take insulin on a slide scale depending on the sugar level at each testing. I am unable to have starches and grains because even the smallest amount sends my sugar levels way up. I am working very close with my Doctor and nutritionist. My sugar levels still run higher than they should even with the medications, insulin, and diet. I’m not looking for health advice, what I should or shouldn’t eat. That is being handled.. I’m just looking for recipe ideas using what I can have. Thank you again.
Most canned tomato sauces are high in sodium, but I was thinking Spaghetti Sauces (tomato sauces). They have sugar added, and they send my sugars into the mid to high 200′s. I do eat fresh tomatoes at least every day though. BTW.. I try to limit sodium due to high BP.

I am on a similar diet, I to am a type 2 diabetic, but as a former chef I have wide range of meals and the background to adapt foods to my diet, look at beans and lentils to for protein, vary the fish and seafood’s you eat, I use alot of artificial crabmeat products, now I cannot have dairy on my diet so I use soya and almond milks, I can have some hard cheese.

Slow cooking with a crockpot is a good idea, this lessens the fat, and you are able to prepare a few days worth of food. And you have a point, with some restricted diets the food can be bland and tasteless, learn to incorporate fresh and dried herb along with spices, cinnamon, turmeric and nutmeg are all good for diabetics, look to making ethnic dishes to to make meals a bit more enjoyable, if you have any more question or need help with your meal plan, feel free to get in touch with me.

My grandmother is 81 and recently found to have high blood sugar and blood pressure. So the doctor has asked her to cut a lot of fat out of her diet where possible and not eat much/any sugar. So with that said, I have a couple questions to ask:

1. Are there any candies she can make or buy that are exceptional and will appeal to a sweet tooth?

2. Anyone have any yummy recipes that would be good for someone with high blood pressure and high blood sugar levels?

She loves to eat . . but she is finding it difficult to cope having to suddenly change the way she has been eating all her life. I’m going out and buying a recipe book for her tonight and I also would like to send her some candy in the care package.

Thanks in Advance =)

Hi you can buy really nice sugar free chocolate from most supermarkets you will find it in the health food section it manages to fix my sugar cravings and tastes good too. (you can get dark chocolate so shouldn’t worry the blood pressure)

Diabetic Recipes

I have a relative who has been recently diagnosed as being diabetic (type 2, i believe). So, I need some diabetic recipes (or recipe sites) suitable for a vegetarian/ vegan diet.

If I can google for it, so can you.
