The wonderful Chef Robert Lewis aka ‘The Happy Diabetic’ plays the character, ‘Nigel Lowenwirth’ in our 3rd Annual Diabetes Mystery podcast entitled ‘Suspect Boulevard’.
In a recent profile on the Everyday Diabetes website, Chef Robert Lewis admitted that he feared the worst for his own love of great food following his diagnosis with Type 2 Diabetes in 1998.
“I suspected that my days of good eating were over,” Lewis writes on his blog. “Yet, as I worked through my ups and downs, I came to realize that the selection of foods I could and should eat was vast and included many of my favorites. This motivated me to attempt to create delicious, diabetic-friendly dishes that were also easy to prepare.
