My hubby and I are normal beings with normal appetite. At mid forties we need to maintain our health. Our motto is to take things moderate. that is what we taught to our children too. Whenever we prepare our meal we just use a little bit of salt and sugar or non at all. Of course Malays like us likes to eat lots of rice. Since we need to maintain our health, we try to eat less rice but more protein and vegetables.
The easiest food to prepare is rice or baked potatoes, grilled chicken or beef and salads. Maybe you could try some of the recipes here for diabetes if you like:

this could be fun for you. for healthy cooking.
Diabetic cookbook. A must have if you are interested...

Diabetic Hypoglycemia
Diabetic Hypoglycemia is a low blood glucose level. This happens to a person with diabetic mellitus. It occurs when a treatment to lower the increased blood glucose of diabetes do not match the body's physiological need and thus causes the glucose to fall to a below-normal level.
Treatment :
1. Oral intake of glucose.
2. Intravenous glucose
3. Glucagon.

Diet for Diabetics Mellitus.
Sufferers of diabetics mellitus is advised to
1. take high food fiber especially soluble fiber but low in fat.
2. reduce the intake of carbohydrates that have a high hypoglycemic index.
For cases of hypoglycemia, they are advised to have food or drink that can raise blood glucose instantly, followed by a long-acting carbohydrate like rye bread to prevent risk of further hypoglycemia.

What Is diabetics ?
People have been talking so much about diabetics. Don't be surprise that most people are not aware they are diabetics until it is too late.
Diabetic according to wikipedia encyclopadia are a few types , Type 1 diabetes results in destruction of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas where such destruction has been permanent. Lack of insulin causes an increase of fasting blood glucose that begins to appear in the urine above the renal threshold, thus connecting to the symptom by which the disease was identified in antiquity, sweet urine. Glucose in the urine causes the patients to urinate more frequently, and drink more than normal . Classically, these were the characteristic symptoms which prompted discovery of the disease.
Type 1 diabetes is not exclusively a childhood problem; the adult incidence of type 1 is noteworthy — many adults who contract type 1 diabetes are misdiagnosed with type 2 due to confusion on this point.
There is currently no clinically useful preventive measure against developing type 1 diabetes, though a vaccine has been proposed and anti-antibody approaches are also being investigated. Most people who develop type 1 were otherwise healthy and of a healthy weight on onset, but they can lose weight quickly and dangerously, if not promptly diagnosed. Although the cause of type 1 diabetes is still not fully understood, and diet and exercise may help, the immune system damage is characteristic of type 1.
Diabetes mellitus type 2 or type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. While it is often initially managed by increasing exercise and dietary modification, medications are typically needed as the disease progresses.
Unlike type 1 diabetes, there is little tendency toward ketoacidosis in type 2 diabetes, though it is not unknown. One effect that can occur is nonketonic hyperglycemia which also is quite dangerous, though it must be treated very differently. Complex and multifactorial metabolic changes very often lead to damage and function impairment of many organs, most importantly the cardiovascular system in both types. This leads to substantially increased morbidity and mortality in both type 1 and type 2 patients, but the two have quite different origins and treatments despite the similarity in complications.
Gestational diabetes is a condition in which women without previously diagnosed diabetes exhibit high blood glucose levels during pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes generally has few symptoms and it is most commonly diagnosed by screening during pregnancy. Diagnostic tests detect inappropriately high levels of glucose in blood samples. No specific cause has been identified, but it is believed that the hormones produced during pregnancy increase a woman's resistance to insulin, resulting in impaired glucose tolerance.
Babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes are at increased risk of problems typically such as being large for gestastional age, low blood sugar, and jaundice. Gestational diabetes is a treatable condition and women who have adequate control of glucose levels can effectively decrease these risks.
Women with gestational diabetes are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus after pregnancy, while their offspring are prone to developing childhood obesity, with type 2 diabetes later in life. Most patients are treated only with diet modification and moderate exercise but some take anti-diabetic drugs, including insulin.
