I eat a pretty bland diet, I don't really have any real recipes to share.  Mostly salad, boneless - skinless chicken breast, and I eat a lot of mushrooms and zucchini sauteed in olive oil.  

I have had amazingly high triglyceride levels in the past (3,000 +) and have to watch the fat intake as well.  Recently found out that although rum lowers blood sugar, all alcohols raise triglycerides.  So my doctor read me the riot act, and now I've had to cut way down on my rum and Diet Coke.  

Grilled/smoked salmon is your friend.  Wild caught sockeye to be exact.....also , that imitation crab meat is fat and cholesterol free. When I went in with a blocked artery and 800+ blood glucose level , my triglycerides were over 6000.  Exercise can help lower them....and TriCor of course...lol.  I got mine down in the 70s.

Also....ground lowfat turkey is the shit....just gotta learn how to season my brother.


know of at least one other as well with diabetes....not sure if the same guy as Belsnickel knows or not.
