Hello. My father is 80 and is now at the point in his diabetes where
he must inject insulin everyday (at least once a day). My mother is
81 and is at a point in her life where she is finding it difficult to
prepare real meals and is also having difficulty understanding what
she can feed my father. I live about 2 hours away from them, but my
brothers and I are looking at trying to ease the food burden from them
a bit by preparing meals ahead of time and freezing them, as well as
trying to put together a list of simple sample menus that my mom can
follow and select from. So...

I'm wondering if there are any suggestions for books or websites that
would provide menu suggestions for meals during the day. We are
hoping to provide my mother with something very simple to put together
that would maybe give 3 menus for breakfast, 3-5 menus for lunch, and
5-7 menus for dinner. The menus need to be very specific (1/2 a cup
of cottage cheese, 1/2 a banana, and one slice of whole wheat toast,
etc) so she has no guesswork.

AND

I'm wondering if there i a source for make ahead and freeze diabetic
recipe (or method) suggestions. We are looking at perhaps making
perhaps 2-4 weeks of entrees (maybe sides as well) at a time and
freezing them so that all my mom needs to do is take them out of the
freezer and either pop them in the microwave or let them thaw in the
fridge and put them in the oven.

I realize this might be a tall order, but any help or tips would be
appreciated.
