Type II Diabetes Meals
My DH has just been diagnosed with Type II diabetes. We know the principles of controlling blood sugar but can any Dibbers share their diabetes friendly meal options and recipes. He's a big meat lover but eats most veg and salads too. Has a sweet tooth that we are working on, but trying to focus on the things he likes that are low or very low sugar.

Stir fry without noodles, just the meat & stir fry veg with some 5 spice etc but not the sauces as they tend to be full of sugar.
Salmon with roasted Mediterranean veg. Using frylight Make a spag bol from scratch (i like quorn rather than mince) or chilly with cauliflower rice Chicken, bacon & avocado salad |

Probably just proper homecooked food, as my mum says and not ready meals, frozen or prepared. That way you know what's in it.
Also watch any 'low fat' products. These are usually filled with sugar to make them taste nicer. |

He really likes sweet & sour. Does anyone have a low sugar / sugar free recipe. Obviously the jars and takeaways are full of sugar. I don't like it so have never tried homemade but would make him a batch of sauce for the freezer if I got a suitable recipe recommended

My husband was diagnosed 6 months ago. For a treat he will have sugar free jelly with blueberries. Small bowl of homemade popcorn. Strawberries and fresh cream.
He eats a lot of stir frys meat with stir fry veg. Chicken salads. Meat and veg. It's been v hard but he is determined! He was over weight so weight is coming off now which hopefully will help too. His daily bloods are good back for blood test in a few weeks time so hopefully that will be good too. Best of luck x

I have borderline Diabetes and I am weat intolerant so no sugar no weat but I can make most things just by replacing the ingredients ie normal flour with say rice flour or potato flour sugar with surgar subtitle. I eat meats fish if I like something sweet i will make it myself.
