Food Changes

Some of you have asked how Adrienne's diabetes will affect my cooking...
We're trying not to change things too much, since we can adjust her insulin dose according to what she eats in a meal. But on the other hand, we don't want her to get used to eating whatever she wants and making her blood sugar jump up and down drastically. So I'm trying to cook meals that we can measure out her carbs and let her fill up on protein and vegetables, which are "free" (we don't have to count any of them).

I was directed to an excellent website that some of you may be interested in. You can enter in your recipe, and it basically gives you a nutrition label for it. Pretty cool. I'm entering a bunch of recipes so I can find home made stuff that is within her target carb intake for snacks.
Click on "Eat Well, Live Well", and then click on "Recipe Analyzer".
