Celebrity chef B. Smith is encouraging people with type 2 diabetes to recognize that small changes, including food choices, can have a positive effect on managing diabetes successfully through the Journey for Control campaign. As part of the campaign, B. Smith visited Atlanta resident, Deborah Brown, who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2002. After her diagnosis, Deborah thought that cooking healthy, tasty meals for herself and for her husband, Chuck, who also has type 2 diabetes, would be a lifelong challenge. But a recent visit from B. Smith showed Deborah that, with a few small changes, she can manage her diabetes successfully while creating meals that are both flavorful and satisfying. Deborah and B. whipped up Deborah's favorite lasagna with a side dish of roasted vegetables and rounded out the Italian theme with a dessert of tiramisu.

Fabulous! That's the downer to this disease, decreased food choices. And insulin makes you gain weight if you don't ramp up the exercise, too. I wish she could do this with Asian food. There's got to be help for the fried rice-loving diabetic!
