text: I am a Diabetic as well... well I am boarder line from being Prego... I was once tho Type 2. I managed myself and my eatings so well that it went away. Here are some things you might wanna do. Sugar is not the only thing your gonna wanna stay away from Especially if he is type 2. \n\nPumpkin Pies... Try a pumpkin Cheese cake with a gram cracker crust. It will be less breading with all the rolls, stuffing, etc.... use splenda instead of sugar. Use the canned pumpkin and stuff like that just add splenda and use extra cinnamon cuz that is good for diabetics. \n\nWhen cooking with butter try to use the "I cant believe its not butter" (less in sodium, better for the body.)\n\nWhen making mashed potatoes, Use Mrs. Dash for flavor, The Butter I told u about and some of the water that you cooked the potatoes in. \n\nTurkey: Try this and you will LOVE every bit! Coat your turkey is Sugar free orange marmelade, and Sugar Free maple Syrup! I know it sounds gross... BUT believe it or not i experimented with that when i was not prego :D\nCook covered with foil. Inside the cavity of the bird, place onion, celery, apple, sage, Mrs Dash, and Orange slices wedged under the skin of the bird makes its yummy, juicy, and beautiful! When the bird is almost done and you un-cover it so that it will darken, pour a mix of orange marmelade and sugar free syrup warmed in the microwave with some butter (I cant believe its not butter) and pour over turkey! back until brown... \n\nGreen Bean Cassrole.....\nFresh Green beans cooked or steamed in water ONLY, Fat free cream of Mushroom soup and make ur own onions. \nIn little pan of toaster oven place onions and olive oil... bake them till there to your liking. Place on top.\n\nCranberry sauce: take cranberries and boil them in sugar free cranberry juice till soft. Go and buy sugar free cranberry jello or black cherry jello. Make it with diet sprite for a twist or use some of the juice from the berries. place all the berries in the jello along with grated orange rind. after the mold is done garnish with 2 fresh cranberries, a sprig of mint and a few orange rind curls. \n\nthese are just a few of what i have made on my own. i cant follow directions so i make up my own things. Dont let that scare you tho. Try them and you plus ur family will be amazed and very happy!
