I co-own the recipe website http://www.getmecooking.com and we have created a (growing) database of over 1,000 ingredients to tell us if they are suitable or not for the top 8 food intollerances, vegetarians, diabetics, etc.

You can search for diabetic friendly recipes here http://www.getmecooking.com/recipes/?dietary=Diabetic

If you create a user profile, you can set in there that you are diabetic, so you don't have to keep updating the search filter. It also lists all recipes in imperial, metric or USA measurements.

Most of the recipes on GetMeCooking are added by food bloggers via our free recipe plugin for WordPress http://www.getmecooking.com/wordpress-recipe-plugin

I hope you will find www.getmecooking.com to be a useful resource for finding diabetic recipes.
 
Some recipes look promising but some of them are a bit too high carb for my daily intake.
 
There's not many diabetic friendly recipes. And I agree most are a bit high for me with carbs, maybe you should add a low carb section.

Why is it when ever we are shown diabetic friendly foods or recipes the only requirement is low or no sugar, yet they all have high or hit high carbs, the carbs are the killer for our levels as much as sugars.

I like the idea of the site but I needs jazzing up a little, it's a bit plain looking and there are no nutritional values showing.
 
I'll look at adding a low-carb option. I see that this website http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet/low-carb-diabetes-diet.html has guidelines for low-carb.

Yes the site is visually a bit plain at the moment - we are planning to improve that.

We do also plan on adding nutritional values for recipes.

Thank you for the feedback, it's really useful!
 
It sounds like it could end up being very useful, especially if you are getting lots of different people to input their recipes. Can't look at it properly at work, but will definitely have a good look once I'm home!
 
I'm newly diagnosed and on The Holford Diet.
It's not actually a diabetes diet but it's whole ethos is based on blood sugar levels.
Instead of glycemic index it talks about glycemic load.
How much ... how fast etc that a certain food releases glucose into the blood stream. How much to eat not eat. How to lose weight by making sure your eating essential fats to stop the cravings for bad fats and sugar.
I'm jumping ahead of myself here a bit.
I'm new to knowing anything at all about food carbs sugars fats etc etc.
Seems like a gfreat book and does have a large section in it about diabetes abnd diet.
Hello by the way.
 
I will definately put my husband on a lower carb diet to help him lose those tell tale inches around his waist He's already taken up golf to help him loose weight
