diabetic friendly?

[Rainbow_Mumma]

I need suggestions for dinner tonight usually im so prepared but with having to adapt a whole new lifestyle and way we eat I'm struggling.
We have beef in the freezer (steaks, stewing and mince) all basic veggies and most pantry essentials and DH is in town so i can get him to pick anything up so give me all your diabetic friendly recipes or meal ideas!

Well your meat and most veggies are free of carbs. It is if you want to add things like potatoes and pasta that you have to count those. A chat potato is worth 1 exchange or about 15 grams of carbs so work from there. Pasta - you just need to look at the back of the packets to work out how much to have. Usually 1/2 cup is worth 1 exchange or about 15 grams of carbs. Rice is 1/3 of a cup. It's hard when you first start out but it does get easier. I have 2 kids with type 1 and now I've been diagnosed with GD (for the 1st time ) Or you can type into google - diabetic recipes and it brings up heaps of ideas
