This may be useful. Thanks! I’m cooking some dinners for my diabetic, over 90 mom and am short on ideas. I’ve been eating low carb for some time, although have fallen off the wagon this Fall because the season change was making me want things with pastas and potatoes. Took them long enough to get to some beef recipes, though!(just a couple at the bottom of the list).

Inn soups, use turnips instead of potatoes.

Mr. mm didn’t know for years.

I’m cooking some dinners for my diabetic, over 90 mom and am short on ideas.

I'm working with a dietician to improve my blood sugar (I'm a type 2). The key to the most successful recipes that don't spike my blood sugar are ones with low or no carbs. I.e., keto or keto-like recipes. Use almond flour in lieu of wheat flour for baking. It's a hard transition, making nearly all my own food instead of being able to just get a slice of pizza, but I have more energy and other people are noticing. They also tell me I've lost weight in my face (haven't been working with nutritionist very long). It's a daily challenge to stock the foods you need to make the right kind of food, but I feel so much better, it's worth it.

A Youtube site I've found useful is Insulin Resistant1, or something like that. This guy has a continuous glucose monitor and tests a wide variety of foods as to whether they cause a glucose spike. Of course, everyone is different, but I find the site useful to give me a hint without taking the time to test what foods to avoid and which don't cause a problem.
