More About This Website

This is not a medical site.  I am a grandmother diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the spring of 2007.  My mother and two of my grandparents had been diabetics so I was not surprised when I was diagnosed.  What did surprise me, however, was my visit with a nutritionist.  I went home and tried to follow her advice.  My blood sugar did not begin to come under control.  After throwing her advice to the wind and relying on the information I had researched for my mother years ago, my common sense, and the advice from several on-line medical sites, my blood sugar is now under control averaging in the low 90s.  When I was diagnosed my blood sugar was almost 500!  I want to share my experience with others and let diabetics know they can still ENJOY GOOD FOOD including SUGAR in most cases.  WARNING:  DO NOT DROP YOUR DOCTOR'S OR NUTRITIONIST'S ADVICE WITHOUT CONSULTING THEM AND MAKE CHANGES GRADUALLY!  I AM NEITHER A DOCTOR NOR NUTRIONIST.  I just want to share with you what I have learned that has been beneficial to me.  Hopefully, it will be of help to you in some way as together we wade through the muddy waters of diabetes.Chef.

I am a baby boomer wife, mother and grandmother who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at age 60. I also have other auto-immune diseases including leukocytoclastic vasculitis, fibromyalgia, lupus, etc. So dealing with diabetes is a challenge. I have managed to find a "happy place" where I am able to enjoy foods and eat as the rest of my family does while keeping my diabetes under control. Hopefully you will be able to find some of my thoughts and ideas helpful to you. But remember I am NOT a medical person of any type. I am just a fellow diabetic, like you.
