Re: need help i need diabetic meal planning

Hi Annie, I'm not an expert on Diabetes, but a lot of the meals that I post to the Eat to Live group on CookEatShare are high in whole grains and vegetables and low in processed flour and sugar. I think many of them will work for you. You can find that group here: http://cookeatshare.com/groups/eat-to-live-2

Re: need help i need diabetic meal planning

Hi Annie,
I had to weigh everything for my mom, she was a diabetic as well. I/2 cup pasta would be all she could have because starchs or carbs turn into sugar when digested. I suggest you get a scale, dietitic book to read the things he could have. I use to use alot of splenda when baking anything for her, and that was limited too.
Mom loved her sweets though. Even some fruits have too much natural sugar, so this one is a little more complex then just cooking differently, there is much more of a balance needed. Hope that helps a little. Here is a good place to learn about Type 1 or 2. http://www.diabetes.org/
