Six small meals a day balanced in Carbs and Protein works well. My husband and I lost a combined 120 pounds 5 years ago and have been able to keep it off. Neither of us were diabetic, but if we had continued to eat the way we were, we would have been!
Excellent post/common sense suggestions and...a BIG congrats on the weight loss.
