Hello
I am new to this group. and I was just diagnosed with Diabetes... I
only know some things about diabetics.. My grandfather was one and I
whatched what kind of foods he ate when I was a kid.. And I NEVER
understood why he only ate those things.. Until I was explaned to by
my mother...

Now when I was diagnosed, I thought this was a nightmare... That it
can't be... I'm 23 and newly wedded.. My husband has been my support
and food messurer making sure I receive the right amount for the past
5 days.. Next week the doctors are suppose to take a sugar test and
put me on meds...

I started searching for others and came upon this group...
I hope to learn more ways to cook and deal with diabetes..

Maria,

This is all so new for you, and you really need to do further study. As
folk say, post on a.s.d (alt.support.diabetes). We do have a member
aboard here, who has a slightly humorous website, telling you not to
give up, there are still some treats out there. Now where did I put his
website?

Ah hah, here it is. Now this is definitely not a way of life, but it
does give you a hope that you will NOT be eating chicken and lettuce!!

Fortunately, I am not a diabetic, but my husband is, and he does like
his food!!!
