I Would Like Some Diabetic Cooking Tips Please

Diabetes runs in my family too, but I don't eat a diabetic diet. I try to eat right and I eat as fresh and as organic as I can get. I drink lots of water and very little soda. I also drink coffee, though I don't think it's proven, but I read a couple of years ago about coffee and the effects on blood sugar. (of course this is black coffee, no sugar) My diet is also more of what I call, "clean" diet. Which means I don't eat or I eat VERY little pork,shrimp,lobster,etc... These are the foods that G♥d had said was not clean. So more of a Mediterranean diet. I do have my occasional goodies, chocolate and sweets, but not as often.. And if you quit thinking of it as a diet and more of a lifestyle, then it is easier to continue. I sometimes also fast, to get rid of toxins, but that is harder to do..lol

I'm not diabetic either but, one of my friends here on MyLot has a blog with some really yummy recipes on it. I've tried some of them and they are great. Her name is Kowgirl. I'll see if I can get her to reply to this discussion for you. You have to try her potato chip recipe.

Right now, I suffer from pregnancy diabetes. I't been like that for 3month and I still have 3 month to be like that. At first it was very hard finding what to eat. I have to watch more what I eat then a normal diabetes person. Right now I'm getting good at it, but I just can,t wait to be able to eat a very big bowl of pasta. To be sure not be hungry I just eat more meat and more veggies. But when I go somewhere else or that I roder something, it,s really hard to count everything I eat. I'M happy because I also have injection of insuline so it,s less harder for me because I just inject more lol. But I will come back to this discussion because I really want to know how real diabetes does it.
