My husband and I have battled weight all our lives - both growing up, going on South Beach before our wedding, but the weight came back. We had been saying for about a year that we "needed to do something". Well that something was about to happen.
July 1, my husband and I went to the doctor to get the results of our bloodwork. His came back with Type II Diabetes. His blood sugar was 174, with an A1C of 8.6. He would need to check his blood sugar twice a day. The doctor felt it could be controlled with food management - and thus appointments were made with a diabetic nurse as well as a nutritionist.
And so it began. I started researching - finding out what I could while waiting for the appointments. I started to think - this can be done - eliminating as much refined sugar and carbs as we could from our eating. It's not a diet - it's a healthy eating lifestyle change.
There's a lot more sugar free foods - as well as alternatives these days. This blog is designed to give others in my circumstance some great ideas, and what works and what doesnt.
I plan to post recipes - with pictures as well as helpful links.
