Hello! My name is Ruben, i'm 25, been diagosed T2 since August 07 so far so good, i'm like 1.73m tall and i was weighting 103kg (yeh i know) now i'm only 83 kg and keeping it down. I like to create new recipies everytime i can, so far i got some interesting ones, if you want i can share them with you later. All recipies diabetic-tested so no worries i'm not a bad influence

. I work on a local tv station, and i think diabetes made me a healthier person, i'm not used to support forums to be honest but no harm in trying huh? So hope i learn lots of stuff in this forum and hope you can learn something from me aswell.

Hola Ruben:

It's Nice to meet you. Hmmm....a Computer Engineer, who likes to
create recipies(not cook?)

One of my Friends is a Chef(Ya, I know). He's a Type 2 and recently
lost 14 lbs. We're Proud of him. Every bit counts.

Great job losing all that weight. Congrats!

I'm sure it wasn't easy.
Yes, I've heard a lot of People say that Diabetes has made them healthier.
Between a rock and a hard place, I guess. It's Wonderful to see People
take charge of this disease since it can get pretty brutal.

Actually, your English is better than some English only speaking People.
Ha! I have a Friend that I sent a few Spanish messages to. Well, I'm
certainly Glad that he had plenty of laughs when he read it. Since I
didn't recall saying anything Funny.

Certainly we would Love to have many recipies. I've never had a
Mexican meal to be honest. If that is what you are speaking of. I
don't know how to calculate the carbs in it because I'm not aware
of what ingredients are in the recipies. I'll be trusting you then.
Will you be adding the carb count of each meal so that People can
decide if it fits into their meal plan and how much Insulin to take?
That would be Terrific. Thanks in advance(TIA).

Hi Ruben, welcome. I'm looking forward to your Mexican recipes, with carb counts I hope. Like Terrie said, your english is great, no problem there.
