| Hi Yellowhair I've been cooking for a diabetic for years. Tell me, Type 1 or type 2? I also need to know what other issues your DH has? My DH has been fighting renal failure for 3 years, successfully. Each diet for diabetics varies based on their specific needs. I recommend using grapeseed oil instead of butter for making scrambled eggs or baking. It works beautifully and hasn't the flavor of Olive oil, but the same good health benefits. Try to keep the red meat portions fist sized or less. Vanilla is a great flavor replacement instead of sugar for many recipes. My DH loves crepes for breakfast because he can put slenda on them like powdered sugar. Here's one recipe, I've got more if you want email me... Crepes in a blender! Blend away Heat pan and cover in grapeseed oil Another cook for a diabetic, |

| I have been a diabetic for five years. At the time I was diagnosed, my doctor told me to buy the Sugar Busters book and go on their recommendations for 6 months and "perhaps" I would be able to go off all medication. I started that day and have been faithful in everything but portion size - I love to eat larger portions. It was difficult, but after 6 months I was able to discontinue my diabetic medication and I have never had to restart. My last A1c test was 6. (One of my neighbors has an A1c of 10 1/2!!!) I have no blood-sugar spikes so hopefully will not lose my feet or go blind. I strongly recommend you switch your whole kitchen to the Sugar Busters lifestyle. It's difficult for the first |

| I'm not diabetic, but I've done Sugarbusters in the past and can honestly say, it's easy to follow and you easily modify existing recipes. The portion control part...well lets not go there! |
