Hello from north central Florida. Just got started smoking about a year ago , having good results using a Weber smokey mountain. Unfortunately I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I found this forum while looking for recipes I can use with my condition. Thanks in advance for your experience & advice as I learn new recipes & techniques.

Hang in there. I'm also diabetic. You learn to love the steamed veggies, wild rices and a wide variety of salads. Tonight we had smoked brisket salad!

I've been doing a lot of studying, seems like a lot of the sauces are a no no. And adjustment of the rubs. And yeah no breads/taters, lol.

Thankfully my wife is on it & has been amazing in the kitchen. We're getting a handle on it , just had cauliflower rice & butternut squash for the first time with our chicken & it was delicious.

Yep! it is hard to have a sugar free BBQ sauce. Learn to go salt & pepper and taste the meat for a change.

No more covering it up with sauces, lol.

Forgot to mention I use just a kosher salt and course grind pepper rub on most of my meats.

Thank you. Like Patinlouisiana said time to taste the meat not the sauce.

Check out the sauces by G Hughes that are getting more and more popular. They're all good considering they are sugar free, but the spicy one is by far the best. They have a whole line of sugar free bbq sauces/marinades/etc out these days
