There are some really great low-fat, low cholesterol cookbooks out there. You might want to stuff one under the tree for her.


Low fat and low cholesterol are NOT low carb. Diabetics have to carefully watch their carbohydrate intake. If you check ingredients like we do, you might find that the low fat stuff has more carbohydrates than the full-fat stuff.

Once Barry's mom made him sugar-free pudding using skim milk. She was insulted when he didn't eat it. Milk is a carbohydrate, skim or not. Pudding mix, sugar-free or not is mostly corn starch, another carbohydrate.

Too many Diabetics fall for the ADA BS about low-fat and fail to acknowledge that carbohydrates are the real worry.
