Diabetic Meals and Recipes

viliberty1957 · September 2010

Does anyone have tips for meals and recipes that take into consideration carb counting? My goal is 45 carbs or less per meal, and 15 for snacks. Low calorie, low carb, and low fat don't always agree. Is there a group on here somewhere that addresses diabetic issues? If so, please let me know. Thanks.

I was just looking for some good low carb recipes for my family... Here is one that I found that looks yummy.

Amount Per Serving

Calories: 204

* Total Fat: 6.8g
* Cholesterol: 37mg
* Sodium: 433mg
* Total Carbs: 18.9g
* Dietary Fiber: 1.4g

I know what you mean about low carb not usually matching up with low calorie and low fat. I've gained some weight since my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It's hard to find a balance!

Here is a web site that discusses why low carbs are important, how to figure out how much of carbs, protiens, nuts, milks, fruits and veggies you need.
It also shows what to eat to attain 125 g of carbs per day in a healthy balance with protien and fats.

It's long:

Have fun and enjoy your healthier life.
