"That's true. we are all different and what we can eat is very individul. Im surprised though you can't eat beans. it works perfectly for me (exept baked beans of course) and i eat them a lot. Diabetes can be tricky :)"

"Orange juice, fructose, beans?? This is why I don't read cooking blogs or "diabetic" cookbooks. We all have different ideas of what is a good diet for ourselves."

so glad you're finding the site helpful. Manny created Tu 5 years ago so that PWDs (people with diabetes) would not have to ever feel alone. I had certainly been alone with mine for years when I joined.

oh, we are having a live chat Friday afternoon
http://www.tudiabetes.org/events/event/listByType?type=videochat

and the chat room will be open (hopefully) the entire weekend. an excellent chance to get to know us better and perhaps get some answers to those questions I'm sure you have. hope to see you around!
