diabetic recipes for one on a budget

org they have great budget friendly recipes. And switch out sugar for splenda or sweet n low wherever you can.

Wanted to know if you guys have any tips on snacks for diabetics as I am new at this. Plus I have a big sweet tooth. So good recipes would help! Thanks!

Anyone know of any good websites with diabetic friendly recipes? My mom has diabetes and I'm trying to help her out with a few meals.

I usually cooked lean (no skin) chicken, lean (97% lean) hamburger, green beans, eggs, and some chicken and rice in low-sodium chicken broth for my (now passed on) diabetic dachshund.

i bought a new bassinet 40$ @ walmart, i felt good about that one, new bouncer, i bought a carseat stroller combo on craigslist for 80$ in great shape and near new...i purchased a jumperoo on craigslist for 20 it retails for 80 and a cool bathtub nee at walmart for 20$...ive been buying clothes here and there, are you having a baby shower??

I've been a type 2 diabetic for over 3 years. It crept up slowly on me, but when my A1C broke through 7.0, I was given 90 days to see a significant drift downward, or begin a drug therapy. I immediately began a paleo style diet. I refused to eat anything containing "white"; bread, sugar, rice, potatoes, pasta...PASTA!!. I also shunned grains of any kind like rolled oats, wheat. Also out were honey, most fruits, lots of types of beans, peas, and corn.

It is not hard to cook proper foods instead of relying on man-made junk foods. There are thousands of recipes on the iNet which one can follow. If weight conscious and diabetic start by lowering your carbohydrate intake. Eat organic whole grains, vegetables, fish and poultry, and fruits, and lean beef and pork. Avoid foods made with white flour; breads, crackers, pasta and white foods like rice and potatoes as these quickly turn into sugar after eating.

Yeah were on a tight budget as well... Were trying to move into a bigger place n everything before our baby get here. We already have a 3 year old. Im trying to wait until my baby shower in a few weeks to see what else I will need.

No i am not a persona l trainer...just a regular guy! lol... Have been around forums for a while and love to be a part of this community...Belly fat eh? have you tried the crunches? You shud pair up with a friend here..her name is Twehner! she is the crunch lady here! Also look this thread up for the exercise that can burn fat - http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/689264 Have you tried the healthy cooking forum? I think you shud try it. They surely will fix the dinners for you!

Then take a regular cereal bowl and spray some PAM in the bottom of it, put two egg whites in the bowl (no need to stir) and pop it in the microwave for approximately a minute to a minute and a half. Take your toasted muffin put the cheese on the bottom, then the egg, then salt and pepper if desired then the mayo on the top. And that's it! A 4 1/2 point breakfast in less than FIVE minutes and it is sooo delicious! So....what did you have for breakfast???

Sigh. I tested positive for gestational diabetes. I thought I was eating healthy, but I guess it's not enough. I'm just waiting now for an appointment at the diabetic clinic. Has anyone else experienced this?

First thing you need have on hand is a home glucose test meter. The only way you're going to know how the foods you consumed affected your glucose [blood sugar] levels is by testing, testing, and more testing. Times to test are; fasting - first thing in morning b4 having any food or colored liquids [plain water is OK]. This will tell you how much stored sugar your liver is dumping during sleep hours. Normal levels are 60/70 - 99 mg/dl or 3.33/3.88 - 5.

I seen something about this on facebook today. Told you DIFFRENT meals, what to get and how to cook it.

Oh I never knew their would be any special recipes for frozen food. That's awesome! I'm good at lasagna as long as I cheat with pre made noodles lol. I'm thinking 14 meals prepared ahead of time. I believe I need to hit the lottery to afford this though lol! I used to cook, not so much now. This whole holiday will be quite a challenge. My nerves are a little raw. But I'm excited too! I will check that website! I also have a crock pot, but have only used for roast.

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.

I'm a diabetic and 28 weeks...I cave sweets too lol. Try baking with splenda instead of sugar...they have a lot of splenda cake and cookie recipes.

If you areb diabetic, or pre-diabetic, diet is more important than ever. Ask your doctor for guidance on nutrition and diet control. 4. Regular Medical Care: This is so important. An annual physical with bloodwork is so important. The earlier your doctor can identify a medical problem, the better. It's a lot easier to manage a condition when caught in its early stages.

I have type II diabetes. I have trouble making a healthy meal for me. Can anyone give me some sugestions on what to fix?

You can buy frozen veggies for a fraction of the cost of fresh and they are just as good for you. Add a meat, eggs, dairy, etc to get your protein, bread or cereal to get your whole grains a serving or 2 of fruit every day, some healthy fat, such as olive oil, and avocado in your salad. You can actually buy a head of lettuce, tomato, cucumber and other raw veggies that will make a couple of meals, less expensively than you can buy a ready made salad that will only make one meal.

I'm due any day now so we stocked up on banquet meals ($10 for 10) and frozen pizzas stuff like that I know it isn't the healthiest but it's the cheapest (we were on a super tight budget this month) and easiest for a new mom who isn't gonna have time or energy to cook a meal! We shop at save a lot because they have great deals!

thank you for the websites, i checked them out they are what i am looking for, as for the other, The doctors and so on told me there really is not a exercise for diabetics except walking 15 mins before each meal, i just want to know hwo other diabetics keep muscle mass. if you can help me with that my problems are solved!!!

Sounds like you have a lot going on with you right now! Is your doctor able to connect you with a dietician? It's probably best to get some food ideas from your doctor due to your specific needs.

I have a 16 year old daughter with diabetes (diagnosed at age 21 months) and I try to set a good example for her by staying away from candy altogether. Lately I have gone on the weight watchers web page and have been trying their dessert recipes (you don't have to join to get them, just sign up) and I must say that it has been fun trying new recipes and I've enjoyed them also. They also have articles that may help you deal with the sweet cravings.

Here's a good web site for 69 [minus a few] diabetic recipes. Since we're not allowed to post URLs, I'll spell it out; allrecipes period com. Once there use the search string 'diabetes recipes'. Try to avoid glucose raising foods such as potatoes, pasta, honey, and raisins and of course sugar.

Does anyone have good recipies and tips for an 81-year-old male to control diabetes? My grandpa broke his hip, and while in the hospital, they uncovered that he is diabetic. Apparently, his doctor has known for a while that he was insaline resistant and pre-diabetic, but "didn't think it was a problem". So we're trying to help my grandma (who is 73) to take care with her cooking when (if) he gets out of the nursing home. I appriciate all the help I can get!
