Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Sharon and I've been a diabetic since 2000. I live with my husband Tim, my Bagel (bassett/beagle) Chester, and my cat Daisy. We all live in Charleston, WV.  |

Many people will try to tell you what you can’t eat with diabetes.
Most will be well-meaning.
Rather than compounding the problem by telling you what you should
eat, I’d recommend a simpler method, eat by your meter.
