what she said.........
Well, you definitely want to keep a balance of sugars and carbs, don't have more than 45-50 carbs in one meal, try not to incorporate too much pasta, try veggies,steak,grilled chicken,and make sure to have artificial sweetener for tea,or a diet soda,water,etc, and for dessert,try a no sugar added ice cream, or mini brownies, contrary to belief,diabetics can eat sugar,they are just limited to amounts due to being insulin dependent.
