I was just recently diagnosed… nevertheless, I do not understand how you can put such recipes on a diabetic web site that is supposed to be low carb and which include wine, chocolate, butter and a host of other sugar and fat full uneeded ingredients! With all do respect… you are doing no service to yourself or others with these posts as people need better education and new thinking healthy thinking not ways to try and trick their bodies with the ingredients that are making them ill. Check out my blog at
http://seeyasugar.blogspot.com/ I think you and others may benefit from learning that it is time to say good bye to such ingredients.

Hi Gary! I see that you were just diagnosed with diabetes. It’s great that you are being so proactive about managing your condition and your diet!

The first two recipes are indeed low carb. The third one is not, but if you check the portions, one serving is a one inch square. This is something that many diabetics will allow themselves.

One thing to keep in mind in all your posts in our community is that not all people with diabetes are living with the same condition. So there is room for people to post recipes that you do not want to eat.

I actually eat a quite high fat diet with moderate amount of carbs. I am a type 1 diabetic, I have very low cholesterol, and I am not overweight. So the recipes that I might choose to share on this site might be different from the ones that you do. I’m not saying that I should eat unhealthy, but sometimes I do eat high fat food and I think that is OK.

How about posting some of your suggested recipes instead of critizing others?
