Diabetic

It's not quite the same but I had gestational diabetes with both of my pregnancies and I loved the Taste of Home diabetic cookbook. Tons of delicious and reasonably easy recipes in there, plus, all carb counts and pertinent nutrition information is listed with each recipe

My husband, pretty young at 35, was just diagnosed 2 months ago. Basically, he's started eating in the same way that I have been to lose weight/get good nutrition. That plus metformin has his sugars stable and in non-diabetic levels before and after meals, and he's lost weight. We have his macros set up for 45% carbs (broken up evenly between meals, complex over simple but not 100% of the time, sugars coming mostly from whole fruit), 20% protein, and the rest fat, with an emphasis on MUFAs.

He's been fitting in treats like banana bread and candy occasionally just by breaking up the carbs throughout the day and walking.

I am sure everyone is very different, of course. It's also so crazy to me how I started out about 130 pounds higher than his starting weight with no diabetes, and then he's the one who ends up with diabetes! He tested his blood sugar multiple times a day for a few weeks to see how different foods and meals and activity levels were affecting him. So, this is where we've started. So far, so good.
