DIABETICS AND FOOD

Today's post is a quote from diabetic specialist Richard K. Bernstein, M.D.  Dr. Bernstein stated, "Just because you're diabetic doesn't mean you can't eat well.  In fact, you are likely to eat better than the average person who hustles a bagel or donut for breakfast, scrounges fast food for lunch, then does whatever for dinner."  I so agree with Dr. Bernstein!  In fact I titled my diabetic blog, "Diabetic Enjoying Food," because I do enjoy food.  I grew up in Southern Indiana farm country.  One thing I have always loved is good food.  Yes, I have had to make adjustments to my diet now that I am a diabetic but through much research I have found that I can eat healthy and it still tastes good.  In fact, often things taste even better prepared the way I do things now.  So if you are a newly diagnosed diabetic, take heart.  You have not been condemned to a lifetime of tasteless awful meals.  If you want some good recipes, please check out my above mentioned blog at http://diabeticenjoyingfood.blogspot.com
