Greetings all!

I was always supermodel skinny before a series of catastrophic illnesses and injuries. Now every meal and movement is a struggle, so I am very open to advice.

Is there a free online meal planner/recipes for diabetics that you could recommend?

Best wishes to everyone on achieving your health and weight loss goals!

    THX for the lead; seems like a very helpful site! Was not able to find any sample menus though, do you know where I might find them? I'm having a problem assembling a properly balanced meal.

    Sorry I didn't get back - got hammered at work again. Trying to make headway on this pile now on my desk! I would google "diabetic meal plan" and see what it comes up with. If I have a chance and find anything - I'll post it. Saying that however, it is my personal opinion that they generally want you to eat too many carbs. I had better success eating about 1/2 the carbs "they" recommended.
