Can somebody give me tips on diabetic cooking?

Here are a couple of recipe websites that are specifically for diabetics. http://diabeticgourmet.com/recipes/ http://www.diabetic-recipes.com/ http://www.cooksrecipes.com/category/diabetic.html tons of recipes for all occasions and meals on these sites. i also believe that your average vegetarian menu lends itself well to a diabetic.

I have been insulin dependent for 14 years. The best way my dietician told me to eat was use the basic food pyramid. A healthy diet is the best for diabetics. I follow that basically with a few extra fruits and vegetables thrown in as I love them both. With me if I eat mostly vegetables at a meal I need to have a snack leter because vegetables are easily covered by insulin and they don't keep you level for a long period of time. I find a snack of a protein helps when I eat lots of veggies.

www.diabetesrecipes.com has many links for recipes about sugar-free and alternative ingrients. Some think cooking of Diabetics create bland or boring food but I don't think so, there are many alternatives for flavourfull and delious meals.

for diabetic the best vegetarian food is grains.boil and give as a evening snacks or do as gravy and give it as a side dish.
