Hello all,

My father, a diabetic, is having quintuple bypass surgery today.  I
will be staying with him the first week of April, after he is released
from the hospital, to help take care of him.  One of the things I want
to do while I'm there is prepare some meals for him that he can freeze
and heat up  in individual portions.  My step-mother doesn't cook much,
so this would be a big help for both of them.

If you have any diabetic, heart-smart recipes that would freeze well
(and are relatively easy - I also have a 7 month old baby to wrangle!)
please post them.  He doesn't like squash, carrots, mushrooms, or
onions.

Thank you!
Amy

Sorry, but the AHA and the ADA are the worst sources for recipes to
control type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.

Both conditions require increase in healthy fats and strict reduction of
starches and sugars.

The most important thing is for Amy's dad to use a blood glucose meter
to test one hour and two hours after each meal, and removing foods from
his diet that raise his blood glucose above 140 at any time.  This is
stricter than the ADA recommends, but higher than the levels at which
damages begin to accrue.

Yeah, ... right, sure.

At this point, probably anything that his doctor says is okay.

Go to the library and get this book:

or order it.

It will be the best investment you will ever make.
