About

Thank you for visiting “the artisan diabetic”. This is my website about living with type 1 diabetes, which I have for over 50 years. I would like to share some of my recipes and tips with you.

I have learned a lot about diabetes in those years. While information is more readily available today, the changes in food processing and lifestyles has introduced challenges. I hope my site will help you with these.

I am a fan of home cooking but love eating out with family and friends too. I will share some recipes that are good for diabetics but also for people wishing to reduce their or their children’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes. These are recipes for good wholesome food and treats that everyone will enjoy.

Carbohydrates are the currency of insulin (for everyone), so you will see a lot of references to carbohydrates on this site. I’m not an advocate of ‘no/very low carb’ diets, but I believe high carb and processed foods are not good, especially for anyone with diabetes.

I have a lot of practical experience of how different carbohydrates behave once they are digested and am currently studying nutrition. I carb count my recipes using the ingredients and brands that I normally use. Even vegetables vary in their carb content, never mind different brands of ingredients, so the nutritional value in the recipes are a guide and will vary depending on the the brands used, the ripeness and variety of fruit and vegetables.
