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.

BE CAREFUL WITH DRIED FRUITS

Be very careful about eating dried fruits. A lot of fruits become tart when they are dried, so the manufacturers often add sugar. Read the labels! And remember those smaller pieces of dried fruit were once regular size pieces and they still contain most of the same nutrients. That means there are not less carbs in dried fruits just because they are smaller! Be sure you buy unsweetened varieties and never eat more than 2 tablespoons per serving.
