Thanks for visiting the site. We recommend eating real, unprocessed foods which are low in starchy carbohydrate to many of our patients as well as to our friends and family. We think it is especially helpful for those with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and weight problems.
Below are links to some fantastic resources that we hope will be helpful and inspiring. We have a separate page with information for our patients with Type 1 Diabetes, and an about page to explain more about why we have made this site.
