Diabetic AND Low Sodium Recipes Needed
A large majority of sodium intake comes from eating prepackaged foods. So if you are one who buys meals that are on the go or nuker meals. Anything thats singly prepared there is going to be a large portion of your sodium intake. If you eat canned vegitables those are also very high in sodium. Just switching from canned to frozen vegitables will cut down the sodium intake. Also making your own sweets/breads will help. Salt is still one of the best preservatives out there. So just remember that when trying to cut out the sodium, prepackaged items can sometimes contain 40-60% per serving of your daily sodium intake.
I know thats not a recipe but I never realized how much sodium I was taking in untill I started reading package lables. Hope it helps and GL with the salt issue.

That is the truth! I got told I was diabetic on a friday and had a night out the next saturday evening, reading labels in my grocery store. The worst stuff for you appears to be labeled no/low sugar and no fat - I had no idea.
It's all fresh foods in this house now, even cook my own chicken for salads instead of the processed stuff.
and I haven't used salt for over a year - lots of variety substitutes out there.:-6

I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.
Folks who'd like to copy my intellectual work should expect to pay me for it.:-6

I use NUsalt. Its a nonsodium substitute for salt. Taste is the same as salt.
The thing I have found since becoming more nutrition conscience that is good to do is to make your own TV diners and microwave meals. This way you know whats in it and that its healthy for you.
If only I could make my own cheese....
