My mom was just diagnosed with diabetes and is overwhelmed. She doesn't know where to begin to locate EZ recipes, etc. Can anyone post some tried and true recipes - my mom and dad like basic foods. THANKS!

Have her cook and bake as always,just tell her to stop using Sugar and use Nutrasweet and check while shopping anything that ends with ose on the Label is a no no.She can bake using frozen white Grape juice instead of Sugar.
To her Diabetes means not eating anymore instead it means eating all day long but small amounts so the SugarLevel doesn't bounce all over the Place.

The above poster is right. If she can, have her see a dietician who can help her and will explain what things she can eat. She will be surprised. If she needs support, she can come back here. There will always be someone to listen.

Looking For: Diabetic Exchange Conversion
Q
Comments (1)
If you have a ADA exchange booklet, you just have to convert how many starches is in the amt. of flour in the recipe, how many fruits would the sugar count for, and on down the recipe with each ingredient. Then add all the starches, all the fruits, all the fats in the recipe and get the total number of each exchange category in the recipe, then divide each exchange category by the number of servings your recipe makes. For example: If your cake recipe had 14 starches in the whole recipe and serves 8, then you would divide 14 by 8 and that would be how many starches a serving of that recipe would have. Then you would divide your fruits by eight and your fats by eight to derive the number of these exchanges in one serving of your recipe. The American Diabetes Assoc. has many booklets on exchanges and the Food Exchange booklet is only about 4 bucks. Hope this helps.

My FIL is a diabetic also. What the dietican told him was to watch his carbohydrates, drink diet soda. He can eat just about anything as long as he watches the proportions. The only ice cream he can really have is the Eskimo Pie stick which has Nutrasweet, and it is only 13 carbohydrates. You might want to go to the following website, www.cooksrecipes.com. Click on diabetic recipes. There a about 4 or 5 categories to pick from. Also, I have used Sweet & Low for a couple of deserts. They too have a website. How about giving him sugar-free jello and pudding as a change. Hope this helps.

Contact the American Diabetes Assoc. They have a free catalog they will send to anyone, it contains great cookbooks and exchange list booklets that are relatively inexpensive. One series is called "A Month of Meals" with 5 different cookbooks. Mine is "Month of Meals-Classic Cooking", but they also have "Meals on the Go", "Old-Time Favorites" and many others. My sister's mother-in-law battled for years to keep her sugar under control "on her own". Then her doctor recommended she get some of these cookbooks and her sugar was 120 the first time he tested her after she began using them.
