I Have Diabetes - Forum & Chat Board | proper eating for one

I am new to this group and have been diabetic for about 4 years.  Oral medication has done a good job till recently but we all know how that goes after awhile.  My real problem is my diet.  I am not a sweets junkie but just hate anything to do with the kitchen.  I received A's in sewing in school and D's in cooking and never got any better.  If it weren't for the microwave and grandpa the grandson would starve when he comes to visit.  Since my husband is out of town all week this causes a real problem for me.  I know I am not the only one who eats alone most of the time, how do others handle their diabetic diets for one person especially those who have no interest in meal planning?   Please don't laugh or think I don't care  I am just totally clueless and cookbooks don't help since even the diabetic ones seem to be for family size dishes not just for one person.

I helped to teach my dad how to prepare meals just for himself because he lives alone.   As a result, he was fortunate to beat his diabetes.
Here's a simple meal example:

2 cups steamed broccoli, with 3 slices of red and yellow peppers

11/2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

4 oz. baked wild salmon

24 oz. filtered water

Here's a video where my dad talks about nutrition, especially the 5 "dead" foods that fuel your diabetes. If you avoid these foods, you can beat your diabetes.
