Hi everyone, My husband just found out on a recent trip to
the VA hospital that he's borderline diabetic. I know almost
nothing about the disease.. his doctor told him to cut out
sugar, which he's doing with great difficulty. Just found
this newsgroup and am so glad.. Does anyone have any tips
for dealing with sugar cravings? Also, I used to make
muffins for him to eat for breakfast, and was wondering if
that is too much starch, or if anyone had any recipes for
breakfast muffins (banana, bran, etc), made without a sugar
substitute at all (maybe applesauce or something?), as the
sweetners give both of us severe headaches. Big request I
know, I'd appreciate any help/tips/recipes. Thanks, lucille

Lucy,
Diabetics have to watch their sugar intake and their starch
intake because when starch is digested it forms sugars in
the blood. Sugars and starches are carbohydrates!!! A fad
diet like the Atkins Diet is not the way to go, but it is
essential for diabetics (or borderline/pre-diabetics) to
watch their carbs. So you see that the suggestion to go to
alt.support.diet-low-carb was probably a good idea. That
should be a place for you to get lots of low carb recipes.
I'm sure Bobby was not drunk. And even though you didn't
think you said anything about low carb, you really
did. I hope you find a great muffin recipe. Sorry, I don't
have one.Good luck with your new recipes.Larry

I have been on Atkins for over a year. I'm sorry but it is
not a fad diet. It may not work for everyone but it has
worked for me. I do agree, however, that all diabetics need
to watch their carbs to certain criteria that is right for
their bodies.AJ

Lucille Have your doctor set up a consult with a
dibetic nutritionist they will point you in the right
direction. Have you tried a Google search for low carb
