Hi IG, didn’t know your hubby had diabetes. Please don’t follow the American Diabetic Association diet. It will cause more problems in the long run.
Lots of research on the web regarding lower carb diets as better for diabetics.
Check out the Mary Vernon site. She is a doctor who deals with diabetics. Also Richard K. Bernstein, M.D.

Thanks for those references. Diabetes is the sword of Damocles over my head, too. I am convinced that low carb is the way to go, primarily because I feel bloated and draggy after eating carby foods.

There are some food I will always enjoy. Ice cream, spatzle, cakes, pies, celebratory foods will always be in the menu, but on a very very limited basis. By no means will they be a staple in the diet.

Anyway, thanks for those references. It makes a lot of sense to me.
