Diabetes Friendly Guide for Thanksgiving Dinner
MODERATORS...I hope that this doesn't get deleted as I really feel that it is some very useful information. But IF you do delete it my apologies.
Hi Everyone. I thought I would share this with everyone.
I have a diabetes educator that sends me information occasionally about things dealing with diabetes. Today sent me this one. Please I hope that everyone will check it out. It has some great recipes and it also has a suggestion on how to fill your plate. So that you can enjoy almost everything for your Thanksgiving meal. I think it is just filled with great information.

By just looking at that picture of the plate with the food when you think about it...it looks like alot of food. I try to do have my plate with salads and veggies but sometimes it is really hard. But one thing I have always done in all my adult life is when we go out to eat at like Hometown buffet, I use only one plate and on that plate, I ALWAYS fill it up with a salad and then put my other choices AROUND that salad and so I can't overeat because there is no room for much. And I NEVER EVER EVER have dessert. Thats a personal choice as I do not like sweets, but I will usually fill up a salad plate with just a small salad as my desert. It works for me, it may not work for others. My husband thinks I'm crazy having salad for my desert while he eats 4 or 5 of those custard flan or whatever it is and ice cream. LOL

Haha! Well I'm jealous about that, too, because I LOVE stuffing and mashed potatoes. LOL
Fortunately I can have this version of stuffing anytime: http://genaw.com/lowcarb/stuffing_pie.html
If you aren't familiar with that site, it has some amazing recipes.

Looks good for some, but my DH is diabetic and a lot of this we stay awy from. Carrots are very high in sugar. We do occasionally do a small sweet potato...no mashed potatoes...basically we stay away from the starches since they turn to sugar in the body. It has taken years to figure this out but even a lot of the drs have no idea and each diabetic is different in the way he or she metabolizes the food they eat. If it's someting he can only have a tablespoon of, I don't fix it....too much of a tease. Thanks for the link anyway. Wish we could go there.

I love Pumpkin Pie and am a diabetic. However, I make my usual recipe for the pie and only take a very small slice at a time. After I eat the pie, I will do something active for at least 15 minutes. Clean house, vacuum, play with the dogs, or just go for a walk around the neighborhood. After a full meal, a brisk walk feels good.
Love the site and the recipe for Pumpkin Pie there. I will try it. (I can have a bigger slice!)
