WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

MEDITERRANEAN TUNA SALAD FROM UNITED HEALTH CARE

 I recently received this recipe from my health insurance company. I hate tuna but it is a good healthy recipe for those who eat tuna so I am sharing it with you.

1 can (3-oz) solid white tuna in water, drained

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup chopped cucumber

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

4 Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

Chopped flat-leaf parsley, optional

Place tuna in a medium bowl. Flake into bite-size pieces. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and gently stir to combine.

Serving suggestions: serve on a bed or lettuce, inside half an avocado, or inside a crust whole-grain or low carb roll.
