Can someone tell me by what rationale these recipes (submitted by Monsur
Fromage du Pollet) are suited for diabetics? Most diabetics have a weight
problem (or are at least trying to lose weight), and along with the weight
goes the question of cholerestol management. These recipes a 1)too
caloric, 2)too rich in fat, 3)too high on the glycemic scale.

They're low-carb. That tends to mean low-spike; when included in a low-carb
diet, they're good for weight loss too. Low carb diets frequently mean a
rebalancing of cholesterol to give very positive results. A low carb diet
should include at least moderate fat, to ensure proper nutrition. Why do you
think they're high GI? I see nothing high GI here. You'd eat it with a good
portion of veggies or a salad to keep it low-carb, making the whole meal
balanced and healthy.

I've lost 19Kg - more than 40lb - on a low carb diet, and have achieved
excellent control of my diabetes that way. My cholesterol was good to begin
with, but every single one of my blood tests have moved in the right
direction since starting a low-carb diet.

Unfortunately, all my family except me hate salmon, so I never get to cook
this one - but I still like reading the recipe : )
