Chad, I am so pleased you are getting some answers and feeling better. Yes, the holidays are coming and you will find plenty of good and healthy foods to eat. There are a lot of sites that will help you to control your diabetes and salt and add some flavor to your foods without putting you at risk. Concentrate on what you can eat instead of what you cannot eat and you are halfway there! There are a lot of options but you will need to cook for yourself and learn to use spices to enhance your foods. For chicken broth or beef broth look for Herb-Ox, they don't have any sodium and they taste great! Also, Trader Joe's makes a good spice blend called 21 Seasoning Salute you can get it at Walmart or buy it online at Amazon too. Good luck, you got this!❤️

Diana, you are so welcome. You are going to like them. They are all I use now. The veggie ones have salt but the chicken and beef are sodium free. Hugs

Thank you for the information about Herb-Ox. I ordered the sodium-free chicken-flavored bouillon packets.
