Great tasting pancakes without sending your insulin through the roof! 1 cup almond flour 2 eggs 1/4 cup water 2 T oil 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 T sweetener Preparation: Mix ingredients together and cook as you would other pancakes. I use a non stick pan with some canola oil. The only real difference is that they won’t “bubble” on top the same way as regular pancakes. Flip them when the underside is brown. makes Six 4-inch pancakes Nutritional Information: Each pancake has 2 net carbs plus 2 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein, and 155 calories.

A friend and I are in disagreement. He says a baked potato is 1 carb choice. I say it is more, I even saw 1 example that a 1/2 large baked potato is 2 carb choices. What is the correct answer. His source is a diabetes education class 5 years ago and mine is from 1 web site.

I have type II diabetes and have been taking oral medication (pills) for it. I admit that I haven’t tried too hard to eat right but now I want to get healthier and lose weight and most of all get rid of the diabetes. I am planning to do Atkins, which is low carb diet. Will low carb dieting lower and regulate my blood sugar and get rid of diabetes? Will it at least control it enough to not need the insulin (in small dose for now) that my doctor wants me to start taking. Please help!
