1*Are you diabetic? Hubby has been for 26yrs (Hes 31)
2*What type? 1 insulin dependant
3*What foods/dishes do you eat? Eats alot of meats, cheeses and yogurt
4*What foods/dishes would you like to eat? He eats anything he wants, just in moderation of a proper diabetic diet.
5*Do you buy any products especially for diabetics? We tend to buy lower in sugar foods.

If you are trying to figure out whats best for you, I suggest talking to a Diabetic Dietician (sp?), they can explain foods alot better for you. Just because your a diabetic, doesn't mean you need to suffer by watching other people eat alot of sugars and you not having any.

I am a type 2 diabetic. I eat most anything I want but watch carbs and calories. I do buy no calorie and sugar free products. And I would love to go crazy at Marble Slab and eat a great, big Snickerdoodle Sundae.
