My mother has a heart disease on top of diabetes and is trying to find a diet that suites her. She is on different medications that disable her from eating certain things or how much she eats of it…if anyone can help with a good diet please let me know.
I follow loosely the South Beach phase 2 diet. If you watch the amounts of fats in this it is excellent for both lowering glucose levels and for portion control. I have not gained any weight from the amount of meds required for both these diseases.
My two favorite websites for Diabetes and Heart Disease are these two:
http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp
and
http://www.mypyramid.gov/
Both sites are set up to offer great advice for diets as well.
Good luck!
