Mary, just about any recipe site will have a section for diabetic recipes. I was amazed how many sites do this.
I also was diagnosed about a year ago and had a very hard time to begin with. My in-laws (there is a lot of it on my husband's side of the family) gave me the best advice ever. They told me to eat whatever I want. Just watch the portions, and if it's a technical 'no-no", watch how often you have it.

Another hint that I've discovered has helped me a lot to keep my numbers down is to take cinnamon capsules every day along with my diabetic pills. I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. I can really tell a difference when I don't take them. Another very important thing is exercise. Any kind, just get moving.

Oh, and one thing I learned the hard way just recently is to keep some hard candy with me always. With the triple digit temps here lately and me having to work outdoors at the time, I got hit with heat stroke and my blood sugar took a severe nosedive. I drank a soda and had a piece of hard candy and it brought my blood sugar back up to where it should be. I went out that day and bought some candy!

Good luck with yours!

Any recipe can be modified to be diabetic friendly by substituting Low GI (Glycemic Index), lo-fat and whole-grain ingredients instead. This website will tell you about low GI foods:
<www.glycemicindex.com/>;
or Google "Low GI foods" for many other websites. Generally, you should limit highly processed foods, high fat foods, and foods with a high sugar content. Concentrate on healthy high-fibre vegetables and fruits, pasta and wholegrain breads. Use lean cuts of meat and fish and low-fat dairy foods. The above websites will tell you which foods to limit or avoid.

I noticed a lot of your recipes are high in carbs, what are frugal meals for diabetics?

You don't need actual recipes, you can control the number of carbs, by the amount of the serving. Find a book that tells the amount of carbs different foods have in them. The only way to cut carbs is to lower the size of the serving. All casseroles have potatos, pasta, or rice in them and they all have carbs. An example from a chart that I have had for about 20 years. 1/2 small bagel/english muffin is one carb choice. Dried beans/green peas, 1/2 cup is 1 carb choice. One small whole potato(3 oz.) is one carb. French fries-16 to 25(3 oz.) is one carb., 1/2 hamburger bun is one carb., three cups popped popcorn is one carb., pasta, 1/2 cup is one carb. 1/2 cup corn, fresh berries, melon, 1 cup. These are just examples, and a diabetic should eat no more than 2-3 carbs per meal. This goes by carb. choice(1 serving).

Try this recipe. Its high in fiber and protein and only contains good carbs, and low in fat if you skip the cheese (which I usually do). You can also add shredded carrots, mushrooms, or whichever veggies you like to this.

I accidentally posted this reply in an archived section, so I am re-posting it here - sorry about the confusion.
