I was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic in Feb '04. I've lost 40
pounds since then through lower calorie diet and walking 5-10 miles
per week, and the disease is currently in remission (my HbA1C is a
down from 9.1 to a mere 4.9 now, yay!). Rather than looking for specific
recipes, I suggest you attend a nutrition class at your local hospital
or clinic, if available. Cutting calories and learning to count carb
units let me continue to eat carbs, just not in the quantities that I
was consuming them in the past. You can get a lot of great information
about this in alt.support.diet and alt.support.diet.low-carb. Best of
luck... :-)
