Please Help Adjusting a salad recipe for diabetic friends

farmerjoy — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:25:55 GMT

I will be serving a salad for a small church group of women that includes 5 diabetics. Would like to serve something that everyone can eat. Recipe includes pasta, cooked chicken, celery, onions, unsweetened pineapple tidbits, green and red grapes, 6 oz of dried cranberries, and cashews or sliced almonds. I would like to use a dressing recipe which includes 1/2 C Kraft Miracle Whip, 3 TB sugar and 2 tsp cider vinegar. Might need to double that to get enough quantity for the salad. My question is, could I substitute artificial sweetener Equal for the sugar to make the salad acceptable for my diabetic friends?

New Insulin and Low Sugar EVERY night!!

bbwdreamsicle — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:39:54 GMT

Until a few weeks ago, my sugars were in the 300s... really bad. I saw an endocrinologist who added Novolog to my regimen and increased my Byetta. Now, My sugars are between 100 and 150 most of the day, but EVERY night about an hour after dinner I get a low. The doc keeps lowering the night time Novolog but it is still happening, yesterday it happened an hour and a half after dinner and then AGAIN an hour later.I take Lantus when I wake up and I think maybe it reaches its peak at dinner time. Only one upside... I get to eat sweets after dinner.... but earlier than the time I am hungry for it. A while back I was told your sugar should be 120 before bed so you dont have an overnight low. Last night mine was 96... and that was AFTER eating 100 calorie pack cupcakes for a low blood sugar, then yogurt an hour later!!! I know if I am going to eat sweet b4 dinner it should be low fat, but today I bought donuts... naughty naughty. I have cut down my food and fat intake A LOT in thepast two weeks tho so I think gradualy my diet will get better and better.
