Crispy-Crusted Steak-Diabetic Cooking

Dear mouse,

The fat lady stopped singing at the age of fifty because of diabetes. She was known in the celluloid world as Dabiana.

Unlike other obese movie stars such as Arlene Mulach, and Nadia Montenegro, she was already on the heavy (very heavy side) when she joined the movies.

She was really a candidate for diabetes and other weight-related diseases.

In fact,many people are, if they are not going to watch out for their diet.

Here is one recipe for diabetic diet.

This recipe is for people with diabetes but can also be shared with the other non- diabetic members of the family.
