Diabetic treatment clearly includes smart daily Food choices.  A top question we hear is, “Give me a list of diabetic friendly foods that I SHOULD KEEP IN MY KITCHEN so I can easily make my own healthy meals."   This IS NOT the same question as “give me recipes."   This is from the diabetic who is being successful and looking to move the sugar and weight numbers down even further.  These people are at the heart of the success stories.
