Michele, I'm not saying this meanly. I am pre diabetic and I don't eat out either. I stay away from bread, chips, mayo, deserts I eat a wonderslim meal bar that I consider my daily sweet. I eat a individual size of almonds for my snack other then fruit or veggie. I have to go to the clinic every 3 weeks checking my blood work for my kidneys and everything else. O I also stay away from salt. I still had 3 strokes last month and I am only 54 years old. I am a firm believer that some people just have way better genes then others. People aren't totally wrong when they do see you eating bread and bagels and using salt in most of your recipes and chips. Those things can add up to being diabetic but not everyone gets it and I would consider yourself very lucky but it's not because you are staying away from eating out. You do cook at home and that is wonderful. I enjoy my home cooking way more then eating out. I use herbs instead of salt and use things like lemons to flavor fish with no breading and chicken breast no breading. I wish I wasn't pre diabetic and didn't have RA, IBD and CRPS and now strokes on top of that and I will be on blood thinners for the rest of my life but hey if it prevents strokes I am all for it. I'm am so very blessed I only lost some vision in my right eye and I can't drive until the vision comes back which they say should happen with in 6 months to a year. Which I pray it comes back but I can still see out of my left. My strokes attacked my focal points. My vehicle will be totally paid off in 7 months so I o hope I get the vision back and can start driving again. My son is 27 years old and I will fight like crazy to be here with him. All I can say is keep living and just pray. Non of us are safe. No matter how perfect we eat.

Hi Michele...I know you and Bruce work hard to make your meals nutritious...I'm presently on a health journey since my husbands stroke 5 weeks ago...Thankfully he is home and we expect a full recovery...Like him Im diabetic, have High Blood Pressure and am 30 lbs overweight...I thought I was a healthy enough eater but have reevaluated that and am trying to do better and have put myself on the diabetic exchange diet...Its hard and I have cravings for all the chips, chocolate and baked goods but have been resisting and have lost 7 lbs in the last month and my BS's are better...I go to my Dr tomorrow and Im going to ask to see a Dietician...My only advise to anyone would be to take Diabetes seriously if you are diagnosed...Take care Michele and have a great Labour Day weekend.

Hey Michelle, Yes, anyone working in the kitchen cooking well works hard! When your young it's easier because your young and full of energy! I've got a broken back that's painful, but I just put a soft chair or stool all around the kitchen and the stove and cook away so I can eat well...and yes I'll go and eat pizza or burger king Whopper (freshly made I ask for, it taste better) when I need too! Sometimes we just run out of steam to shop and cook. And, I need my bakery treats too now and then too! Otherwise I make blueberry, strawberry, cherry, raspberry, blackberry, cranberry, vanilla Greek yogurt frozen smoothies.....it's healthy and taste just like a thick ice cream shake!
