Summertime and the livin’ is easy! What says summertime better than a backyard cookout? And don’t be worried about inviting your diabetic relatives or friends. Here is a complete menu for you that is diabetic friendly. The food is delicious, no need to prepare diabetic and non-diabetic food. In fact, no one will guess you planned your meal around diabetic needs.
Let’s start with an appetizer so folks can ‘graze’ while you do grill duty. How about some Garlic Olive Cheese Dip with an assortment of whole wheat or other whole grain crackers and some baked tortilla chips? Sound good? Here is the recipe:
GARLIC OLIVE CHEESE DIP
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened 20 pimento-stuffed Spanish olives, finely chopped 5 peeled garlic cloves put through a garlic press
Mix all three ingredients together. Let set for at least an hour to let flavors blend before serving. Serve with party crackers or with chips. Refrigerate leftovers, if there are any!
Chicken is an excellent choice for the grill. It’s quick, easy, and healthy. It also packs a big protein punch which allows your diabetic friends and relatives to also enjoy the carbs you will serve. For something different try chicken with black bean salsa. The black beans make it a good diabetic choice and the salsa is refreshing.
CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEAN SALSA
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple in its own juice, drained 1/2 small red onion, chopped 1 plum tomato, chopped 1 garlic clove, minced 2 tbsp lime juice 1/4 tsp salt, optional 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
RUB: 1 tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp hot pepper sauce 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp salt (optional) 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
To make salsa: In a large bowl, combine the beans, pineapple, onion, tomato, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until serving.
To make chicken: Combine the sugar, hot pepper sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Rub mixture over both sides of chicken.
To grill chicken: Coat grill with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill. Grill chicken over medium heat until cooked thoroughly, about 4 to 7 minutes each side.
Serve chicken with salsa.
A good diabetic recipe as 1 serving of 1 breast half with 3/4 cup salsa has 31 g carbs but 29 g protein.
Cole slaw is always good on a hot summer day. This creamy cole slaw with be a perfect compliment to the chicken and to the beans and pineapple in the salsa. This dish needs to chill for at least two hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Perfect for a cookout as it can be made ahead.
CREAMY COLE SLAW
1 1/2 cups low-fat mayonnaise 1/3 cup SPLENDA granular 3 tbsp finely chopped sweet onion (optional) 2 tsp lemon juice 1 tbsp white wine vinegar 1/4 tsp celery seed 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 8 cups shredded cabbage or slaw mix 1/2 cup shredded carrots
Blend mayonnaise, Splenda, onion (if using), lemon juice, vinegar, celery seed, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add cabbage and carrots. Stir well to cover all the cabbage. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.
FRESH VEGGIE TRAY
A fresh veggie tray is always a nice addition. Use seasonal summer vegetables such as sliced cucumbers, tomatoes wedges, baby carrots, green onions, and broccoli crowns for a tasty, colorful presentation.
Ah, last but not least, don’t forget dessert! This may not sound diabetic friendly but how about Brownie Sundaes? That’s right, brownie sundaes. The way you make them, they will be diabetic friendly and delicious too. Let’s start with this brownie recipe:
BROWNIES
3/4 cups cocoa powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2/3 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup boiling water 2 cups Equal Sugar Lite 2 eggs or 1/2 cup egg substitute 1 1/3 cups flour 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
In large mixing bowl, stir cocoa and baking soda together. Blend 1/3 of the oil into cocoa mixture. Add boiling water and stir until it thickens. Stir in Equal, eggs and remaining oil. Stir until smooth. Add flour, vanilla extract and salt. Blend together completely adding in nuts. Pour in a 9×13-inch baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick vegetable oil spray. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool and cut into 24 pieces.
To make BROWNIE SUNDAES: Place a brownie on dessert plate. Top with a scoop of no-sugar-added or sugar free vanilla ice cream. Heat some sugar-free (I love the Russell Stover brand) chocolate sauce in the microwave 15-30 seconds and pour over ice cream. Top with finely crushed salt-free peanuts, optional.
Ice down some cold drinks in a large cooler, remember to include sugar-free drinks or make some lemonade using the following recipes.
OLD-FASHIONED-STYLE SUGAR-FREE LEMONADE
2/3 cup water 1/2 cup Splenda granular 1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons) 4 to 6 cups cold water to taste
In a large glass measuring cup, combine 2/3 cup water and the Splenda. Heat in the microwave for 2 minutes on high. Using caution, remove from microwave and stir the mixture to see if Splenda is completely dissolved. If not, return to microwave and heat an additional 45-60 seconds. Fill a pretty, large pitcher with ice. Pour lemon juice over the ice. Add the Splenda mixture and stir well. Add 4 cups (1-qt) of cold water. Stir well to blend. Taste and add additional water to suit your taste.
BLACKBERRY TWIST LEMONADE
2 cups fresh blackberries or unsweetened frozen blackberries, thawed 1 cup fresh lemon juice 1 cup Granulated Splenda 4 cups cold water
Put berries, lemon juice, and Splenda into blender. Process mixture until smooth, scraping down sides. Press mixture through a sieve into a pitcher. Discard solids remaining in the sieve. Stir in water. Serve over ice.
Yield: 7 servings with 4 grams sugar each
There you have it! An easy menu for a backyard cookout that is suitable for your diabetic family and friends but also tasty for all guests.
Enjoy!

There is no current cure for diabetes although several treatments are available. Treatments include, diet plans, insulin injection, oral medication or surgery depending upon the type of diabetes. The proper management of treatments for diabetes helps diabetics maintain a normal way of life. Diabetes has three specific types: type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. Is there a possible cure for diabetes type 1?In type 1 diabetes, the islet cells of the pancreas in charge of producing insulin is being destroyed by the immune system of the body. Hence, the production of insulin by the pancreas is affected or the pancreas no longer produces insulin. The cause is still unidentified but this is often attributed to viral infections or disorder in the genes.This is treated by a daily dose of insulin injection, an insulin pump or the insulin jet system. Oral medication as a treatment for type 1 diabetes is not applicable since it still has to pass the digestive system before it can take effect in the blood. The currently suggested cure for type 1 diabetes are pancreas transplant, islet cell transplantation or stem cell transplant. Individuals who have undergone these surgical treatments as part of clinical tests, are still under evaluation for possible re-development of immunity rejection and its ability to maintain adequate number of insulin cells that can meet insulin requirements as well as keep new cells alive. Other new treatments like synthetic human insulin, insulin analogs, genetic manipulation, BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccine, gastric bypass surgery and computerized artificial pancreas are still undergoing human clinical trials and study, in the hopes of finally determining if there is a cure for diabetes.The drug BCG is said to have been tried and tested for 80 years now. Hence, if human clinical tests can prove this drug to be successful, the availability of a cheap generic drug to administer is possible.Is there a possible cure for diabetes type 2?Majority of diabetics are suffering from type 2 diabetes. This is due to insulin resistance of the body brought about by the inability of the cells to react to insulin or the production of insulin is not sufficient to control the blood glucose. This is familiar among older people, obese individuals or persons with weight problems, due to their physical inactivity. Treatment initially requires diet control, exercise and oral medication to avoid progression into becoming type 1 diabetes. In the event that it does progress, treatment will then require insulin injection.Similarly, there is also no cure for type 2 diabetes, hence, proper management of its treatments is necessary to avoid the progression of the disease. This type of diabetes may also crop up in pregnant women known as gestational diabetes and may take place in the last months of pregnancy. Although considered as not life-threatening and may disappear after giving birth, the mother is already deemed prone to type 2 diabetes. Once an individual becomes afflicted with diabetes mellitus, it will become a part of his or her life and can even be a cause of death. Adequate knowledge in managing this disease can help the patient live longer.Management includes lifestyle change, nutrition plan, physical activity and having a diabetes team to supervise the daily medications and monitoring. Other than the doctor, nurse, dietitian and healthcare professional, one should include a diabetes educator as part of the diabetes team. The diabetes educator will be responsible for the psychological needs of the patient and in providing assistance for some of the clinical requirements.In as much as the elusive cure for diabetes is still undergoing further researches and clinical tests, management of the diseases is still the best way for the diabetic sufferers. Those who are not yet afflicted with diabetes but are engaged in a lifestyle that may develop their body system into becoming one, it is best for them to consider the necessary changes in their way of eating and living to prevent diabetes from having control over their lives.
