Loving the recipes being posted - keep 'em coming! Diet is extremely important for us, but I believe attention should be paid to the quality of the food we eat (no processed foods at all, organic, fresh or frozen fresh, etc), and how we live in general. Exercise is a biggie for sure. Mental health, as in positive attitude, perseverance, and good basic health habits.
And cheating! You gotta 'reward' yourself every once in awhile, just to stay human about it all. Just get yourself in a position where cheating doesn't compromise your established well-being.
I'm not much for supplemental vitamins, as my preference is for getting those nutrients through meal selection. However, there is one that supplement that works for me, which is Co-enzyme Q10 or CoQ10. It basically works at the molecular level in promoting healthy cellular growth, and as you age you need it more, but the body produces less of it. Something to look into IMHO.
All of these things contribute to staying healthy while living with diabetes. I'm a 3rd generation diabetic, so far only at the type 2 level. And hopefully that's the worse it will ever be for me.

Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
