We havent really looked at diabetic recipes yet. We have stayed away from rice. We used to eat basmati, but it was white, we will have to look for brown. One trick Lori used for rice was to add a bouillon cube(flavored), you can get beef,veggie, mushroom flavor, makes a huge difference in the taste. I have knocked off all whites(pasta, rice, potatoes) due to the starch getting converted to sugars. Dietician said portion size is huge and that fats are alright too although the idea is to get the weight down. I drink tea and coffee, but my coffee was black, with tea we use splenda. Been eating way more salads lately, I hope to drop about 20-30 lbs. My blood sugar hasnt been below 8 since being diagnosed, and has been as high as 13, but the doc is still getting me up to full dose on my Metformin, Im taking 2 pills a day now..started at 1/2 pill twice a day.
Congrats on the weight loss Cliff, losing unwanted and unneeded pounds sure makes you feel better!
