I know that managing your diabetes can start to feel overwhelming at times, particularly at meal times. Between planning for carbs and sugars and managing an already-busy schedule, getting a fresh, home-cooked meal on the table for dinner can seem like an impossible task! That’s why I love one-pot meals: quick, healthy and so very little hands on prep time. Try this Quick Hamburger Soup from Diabetic Living that’s sure to please even the pickiest (and busiest!) of crowds.
