New Diabetic
Posted: 12-08-06 13:27pm

Recently diagnosed diabetic, found out day before thanksgiving.

Been trying to get my mind wrapped around the whole disease so to speak. Just introducing myself and looking to meet people with the disease and how they live their life.

Also found a website and looking for others for recipes to cook. Anyone recommend any.

I don't have any direct recipes, but my father-in-law has diabetes, and he basically just keeps away from refined carbs (sodas, white flours and sugars, anything that's not a natural carbohydrate like fruits and veggies). That seems to help.

There is an absolute epidmic of diabetes in the past 20 years due primarily to poor diet, so you are not alone in your plight. I'm sure more people will be able to respond with some great recipes or resources.

Best of health to you as you discover how to work with this!
