A low-GI/GL diet such as that described in the Greek Doctor Diet books is ideal for preventing diabetes. Their author, Dr Fedon Lindberg, is an endocrinologist with diabetes running in his family.

I currently have a sweet-tooth, and am finding it difficult to find meal plans, what to eat for snacks, etc. While diabetes is not something that runs in my family, I am still concerned and would like to be smart and take a proactive approach to my health. Any tips or advice? I am very interested in a sugar-free living.

Sorry I've been inactive lately, not just in the OU F&D group but also in other areas of my life. Some health problems, but I promise to come back soon. ROFL re your experience with the Cabbage Soup. Chickpeas being pulses or legumes, won't they add to the effects of the cabbage? But if it's by Marcella Hazan it must be delicious and worth the risks! Sunny Hi Maggie

We've been missing you terribly over on the OU food forum, so when Veronica said you were blogging on here, I thought I'd swing on over to say 'hi' and Happy New Year. Fascinating blog, as always - had to laugh at your Cabbage Soup entry - I remember doing that diet, and the amount of gas it produced could have powered a small locomotive for a week.........ahem, but it hasn't put me off trying a really nice-looking Marcella Hazan recipe for Chickpea and Cabbabge soup. It can't have too many side effects for a couple of days' consumption....can it? Maggie Hi SunnY!

Asian spices go so well with pork, and I love sechuan pepper, so I'm sure I'll try it next time. "cabbage haters" LOL yet it's such a versatile veg: cabbage rolls, coleslaw, sauerkraut... The trick, as with most vegetables, particularly the cruciforms (broccoli, cauliflower, sprouts) is not to overcook it because then it can be rather smelly. Hi Amanda

Mine is mince pork, and the seasoning is garlic, ginger, chilli & crushed sichuan peppercorns - so another option if you want to make your cabbage taste different, and good enough that even the cabbage-haters wolf it down and then ask for seconds :-) Hi Sunny,
