    Diabetes type 2 can be reversed, that is the good news. Google about it and you will find your recipes ;)

    I like the recipes on this site. http://beautyandthefoodie.com/recipes/
    To be honest, I don't really look for low-sugar, although I keep an eye on it. I find if I keep it low carb it works for my blood sugar.
    I did find a sweetener I love though, if you can find a monkfruit/erythritol blend I find it tastes and measures like sugar.

    I went almost gluten free............obvious things but don't check labels for smaller amounts as I am not celiac. My doctor was over the moon when I had bloodwork done later. My blood sugar dropped quite a lot just with the reduction in carbs. Not saying you should do it but carbs are equivalent to sugar in the body according to a friend who has a child with severe diabetes. They have to count every carb in every item he eats.

    They all end up being converted in glucose, the only difference is that some do faster than others.
