I am a type 1 diabetic, so sometimes keeping my diet in check is hard. It also can be extremely dangerous if I don’t. It’s not like I can up my activity and lose weight like someone with type 2 diabetes. It’s quite a bit more challenging.
I can’t even begin to explain how helpful my Cuisinart food processor has been in maintaining my health. It is literally magical for me. Of course, watching my diet takes more effort than a lot of others, and slip-ups aren’t as kind to me as they are to an average person. It’s really no joke.
When I first started feeling the effects of my diabetes, I wasn’t quite sure what it was. I started with an elimination diet. Naturally, my body was feeling better when I cut out sugar and cut back on carbs. I headed to my doctor and did some routine blood work only to find out that I was in fact diabetic. I was pretty surprised because no one in my family was diabetic that I knew of.Â
When my doctor and I started working on my diet plan I thought it was going to be nearly impossible. It was so restrictive and I was worried that I couldn’t hack it. The doc told me that although it seems really difficult, it needs to be done and that there are plenty of recipes online that I can look into. He also suggested I invest in a Cuisinart food processor.Â
I took his advice and ordered one online. It really made a difference in my meal preparation. But it wasn’t the everyday meals that were difficult for me. It was the parties where there were snacks and desserts. I felt like I was seriously missing out. It made me super sad.
I scoured the Internet for diabetic friendly party foods and I was so happy at what I found. The best part? Almost all of the recipes were made easier with a food processor. Score!Â
I went to the KitchenWorksInc. website to check out other parts for my Cuisinart food processor. They sell authentic Cuisinart dfp-14 parts. I ordered some different blades and bowls and another food pusher. I was ready for action.Â
Now I make multiple dips and desserts for parties anytime I go so I’m sure there is something there I can eat. A lot of my close friends and family have started making some of my recipes too- partially for me but partially because they enjoy them as well. They’re that good and a lot healthier for everyone.Â
My situation sounds unfortunate, but it doesn’t have to be. I’ve found some awesome ways to take care of myself, and I owe it to my Cuisinart food processor.Â
