Kim, there are a few good recipe books for diabetics on the market these days. If you can't find any in your area, please let me know, I will get you one from here.

My hubby was a diabetic due to being overweight. He was on medication for it. He has lost 30 pounds now and hasn't had to take any meds for the last 6 months. He still checks his blood count every 3-4 days and it has been stable between 5-7.
