Ok , So i have only been here a few times and have decided that since I can't figure it out or maybe my sub-con wont allow me to , I NEED someone who will help me on this....

I am comp. disabled on a fixed income. I have a 6 year old , and I have been told I have diabetes!! I have TRIED to do all this on my own now, because when I have gone to the health dept , or no one will set down and help me...I* have even got online to try and figure it out, but call me a dumby. I JUST CAN"T FIGURE IT OUT!!!!
HERE IT IS.....
Is there ANYONE who is lives a healthy lifestyle who may be WILLING to make me a weekly menu for my daughter and I .... There is a CATCH!!! I can NOT spend more than $52.00 per week!!
There for what can I buy that is HEALTHY keeping in mind,I have to have 6 small meals a day...Using only healthy foods.
I have to get healthy for my child! SHe can not lose me. I HAVE to sart teaching her what is good for you. She depends on me and deserves nothing less!!
P.S.
No I can not have my own garden where I live....

Get a book called "The 5 day miracle diet".
A co-worked had diabetes and his Dr. told him to get this book. It changed his life.
I don't have any issues with blood sugar but I'm using this book too and it is fantastic!
The author is Adele Puhn.
Has sample menu's and suggestions!
Best wishes!

OK.. Good question... I DO THAT!! But What will it serve her if I keep it up while I am SO sick, and die from Diabetic Shock?

All I am asking is if someone else has been thru this, and has since figured it out, or maybe willing to give me some advice on what I can do that I havent already tried to do.

Love feels no burden,
thinks nothing of trouble,
attempts what is above its strength,
pleads no excuse of impossibility...
It is therefore able to undertake all things,
and it completes many things,
and warrants them to take effect,
where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth not.
Though weary, it is not tired;
though pressed, it is not straitened;
though alarmed, it is not confounded...
