Just offering some additional advice for diabetics that might be a bit easier to follow and less restrictive, especially if you’re trying to accommodate for someone with diabetes. I am diabetic and will spare the long drawn out explanation, but you can absolutely eat carbs as a diabetic and you don’t need to necessarily swap for non carb options. You just have to make sure you aren’t *only* eating carbs. The best meals/snacks for a diabetic have a balance of fat, protein, fiber, and carbs. So if you make a pasta dish, pair it with a salad and a nice protein. Potatoes and rice are fine as long as there is a balance. The same is true for sugary snacks and sweets make sure you balance it out.

Yes! Scissors are essential and so is a vegetable peeler. Just a plain simple one they stay sharp longer.

As a person with diabetes, I offer these suggestions for Marc. Main dish, salads, and fresh fruit. Especially look for ones that do not have potatoes or rice or pasta. Or make a big pot of soup or chili and offer plain chopped cabbage for the crunch instead of crackers, make your meals, soup and salad instead of soup and a sandwich. And use broth soups or tomato base instead of cream, base or cheese. Fresh fruit your best options are berries or apples. Learn to make chili your best friend for entertaining. Dry beans are cheap. Serve. with raw vegetables and an apple.

Unfortunately, we don’t have the proper credentials to be labeling recipes according to specific health or medical needs, and the nutrition data that we provide is only a general estimate, so we can’t definitively say something is low cholesterol, low sodium, etc.
