New member with diabetes

I am looking to connect to new members that also have Type II diabetes. It is important for me to keep my carbs and my sugars down. I would be interested in any recipes or food suggestions you would have. Thank you!! Lynne

  • Hi Lynne. I too have Type II and am trying very hard to keep my carbs down. There are so many great websites out there. The ones I like best are www.yourlighterside.com and www.alldayidreamaboutfood.com, http://mariahealth.blogspot.com/ is a wonderful blog that explains a lot of things as well as having very delicious recipes. I am trying to begin a lifestyle of gluten free/ sugar free eating. It's a little hard at first, but I think the benefits for my and my families health will be worth it!

    Hi Lynne, I am type 2 and am trying to lose weigh and keeping my carbs down too. I'm mainly doing it by eating what I would usually but without the mash of potatoes and rice etc. I do still struggle sometimes but god loves a trier I believe. Feel free to add me if you like x

    I was just diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes on the 15th. I've had low blood sugar since I was 19....29 years ago. So I've known how important protein has always been in keeping my sugar level but now it's getting the fiber in for every meal and how it helps keeping the sugar level that's got me searching. I'm suppose to go on Metformin but I'm waiting for my meds as well as my blood glucose monitor to come in the mail. I love this site; it's so easy to put in all my food into my phone and see how I'm doing.
  • I have type 2 and I'm on Metformin (YUCK), and soon insulin again. I'm meeting with a nutritionist soon and I will be sharing what I learn!!

    I'm not diabetic, but I'm here to keep it that way. My dad has type II diabetes, and has suffered unthinkable complications because he didn't do what he needed to in order to control it. I do eat lower carb and sugar, because of PCOS. Feel free to add me, if you'd like. :smile:

    I have PCOS and am currently on a low carb diet. I'd love for you to add me so we can trade food ideas. Anyone welcome.
