  1. Low fat cheese and cottage cheese doesn’t make it diabetic friendly. You’re better off with regular cheese and regular cottage cheese as the carb count is lower. Low carb is better for diabetics than low fat.

  2. Could I also have all diabetic recipes sent to me.
    I would also like to know a substitute for cheese. Real fuss pots my family.
