First of all....did you see a dietician? Here in Ontario Canada
there is a diabetic clinic at the local hospital that has a nurse and
dietician who hold a seminar and lay out the diabetic diet plan. It is
very simple and you don't starve. I've lost 45 or more pounds on it and
have, over the years, modified it a bit to include some of the things I
didn't eat in the beginning. The down side is that a lot of sauces etc.
are not allowed except in moderation. You basically have to trade off
some things to get a forbidden item occasionally. HTH....Sharon
