As a Diabetic, I know you can control Diabetes by proper
eating. You don't have to take medication or shots - you
just have to eat a "low carb" diet.
Yes, you can have all the desserts, breads, pizza, soups,
stews, and foods you are use to. The only difference is the
ingredients you make them with.
Check out www.deliciouslyhealthy.net. This site will teach
you how to substitute unhealthy foods with foods suitable
for a Diabetic. It will also show you what foods are
available at your local grocery stores.
Beware of foods that are advertised for "Diabetics" or say
"Sugar Free". Most of these have a tremendous amount of
carbohydrates in them.
