Hi Denice,
I've never been to a dietitian. Now that they have blood glucose meters and the internet, there is really no reason to go to one for diabetes. It's not a very complicated diet. Dietitians are really needed for more complicated medical diets.
Dave's advice was spot-on. Nancy told the truth, your whole family will be healthier because you are a diabetic. My now-grown daughters are good low-carb cooks because of how they grew up and all of their friends appreciate it. No need to feel deprived, and for answers to your questions, this group is fantastic.
You can do it. We can help. Wait, isn't that a commercial?
