  1. 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

  4. 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.

    Never the less that's where you will find most recipes that
    are diabetic friendly. But then with your attitude you shoud
    just go to google and search for muffin recipes.

    If he eat to much starch and sugar he could be heading for
    complications.

    But to answer your question No not drunk, just stupid for
    trying to help your [censored].

    But so you know, most of us drunk diabetics use lower carb
    to help control our BGs. Your request for diabetic muffin
    recipes, IMHO implied low carb.

    There are a low of us diabetics at asdlc, not every one uses
    low carb to lose weight.

  9. 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.
