The diet most often recommended for people who suffer from diabetes mellitus is one that is high in dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber, but low in fat (especially saturated fat). Patients may be encouraged to reduce their intake of carbohydrates that have a high glycemic index. However, in cases of hypoglycemia, they are advised to have food or drink that can raise blood glucose quickly, followed by a long-acting carbohydrate (such as rye bread) to prevent risk of further hypoglycemia.

Yeah, it's better to cook meat on the bone. But realistically, meals made from canned turkey, chicken or roast beef can be easy, fast, high in protein and low in saturated fats. Here are recipes to make these quick meals so tasty you'll skip fatty fast food for these homemade dishes.

I LOVE mac and cheese. Now I don't care for the stuff in a box and the stuff that is ready to eat that gets nuked is just plain nasty, but this recipe is easy to make and tastes fabulous. The gorgonzola added a nice tangyness to it. Though the four types of cheese and half and half make this a not so low-fat meal, it was a wonderful treat.
