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.

QUOTE FROM A FORMER NFL PLAYER

I am not a football fan so I have no idea where Mike Golic played football. I do know he is a type 2 diabetic whose father was also a type 2 and he has two sons he hopes can avoid diabetes. He makes his diabetes diagnoses and progress a family affair. All of us diabetics know we can slip up at times and see our numbers go up. That is why I like this quote from Mr. Golic: "If my numbers aren't the greatest, I'll take it as a challenge. I physically put that number somewhere, look at it, and say: OK, next time it has to be better." Good advice, Mike!

RACING DRIVER CHARLIE KIMBALL QUOTE

I agree with race car driver Charlie Kimball who stated, "The diagnosis of diabetes has been a speedbump, not a road block." Don't let it be a roadblock for you either! Make diet and lifestyle adjustments as needed and keep on rolling!
