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.

Amazing! I'm not diabetic but looking for a way to bake yummy things with less fat and sugar. My boyfriend and I struggle with keeping our weight in check. I love great food and sweets are my downfall. My dear boyfriend has a brother who is diabetic and he always looks so sad during the holidays. I can't wait to start cooking for him. Thank you for putting so much thought into this website. I've subscribed to receive your updates. The tip on getting baked goods to brown was priceless. I was afraid to bake fresh bread with Splenda but not anymore. Thank you.

I found your site thru the D/FW network on Facebook, great site, I have you saved to faves and will be reading a lot more... It's 3am and my sugar was falling, that's why I was up at this hour, and I stumbled across your site... Fate?? Maybe so...

Like I said earlier I would come back and I have. I am going to try one of the casseroles and see how it comes out. This is going to be really fun.
