Answer 4

Check out the South Beach Diet. There are some recipes from professional chefs in the index.

My doctor put me on it because I have family members who suffer with heart problems and diabetes. I didn't have much trouble adjusting to the new eating habits. The main thing is get rid of white bread, and pretzels, and don't eat carbs without also eating something to slows your digestion like fiber or good cholesterols.

Most people need to see a new food on their plates about a dozen times before they eat it. You don't need recipes. A balanced diet is great. Lunch :Sandwich with meat and/or cheese. Add a few fresh spinach leaves for a green veggie. A piece of fruit for dessert. Use whole wheat bread and lean luncheon meats. A filling soup like Chili with cheese and crackers.A piece of fruit for dessert. A yogurt and some crackers.Add some leftovers from dinner and fruit. Dinners:Protein , veggies and carbs.Simple. Baked chicken,a green salad and a potato. Poached fish ,rice and squash. Lobsters with lemon and butter,a baked potato and salad.Yumm. Meatballs with sauce and a cup of cooked pasta.Add extra meatballs to make up for the tiny amount of pasta. A salad and fruit. BBQ ribs and corn on the cob.Cole slaw and watermelon.

Go to any mall close to you, and go into their bookstore...they should have cookbooks especially for diabetics. I could not tell you the best ones, but I do know ppl who have had to use those (if I wind up with pregnancy diabetes, I will be one of them) and none of them have complained.

Check out the Schwarzbein Cookbook. My mum's diabetic and she uses it all the time.
