Not a website, but this book is pretty much exactly what you describe: Make the Bread, Buy the Butter. Any chance you're thinking of a book instead?
If you haven’t read the book, Medical Apartheid by Harriet Washington , please do! It’s an excellent and easy to follow chronological explanation of the medical experimentation on Black people ����
Honestly, HK was the moment it became clear that Maxwell was the John Perkins of Bitcoin. "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" is a must read to understand the hijacking of Bitcoin. It took only one guy on the inside of Chas T. Main engineering to put countries billions in debt. To put Bitcoin in the hands of the banks it took only one neckbeard rat willing to sell out.
Signing the HK agreement ~~proves~~ strongly suggests that u/adam3us and u/luke-jr were out of the loop.
This book was recommended on this sub previously: Make the Bread, Buy the Butter. It is.. ahem... available in other forms if you can't pay for it. Details what things can be made from scratch, and if it's worth it to bother or not.
There's a book that I found to be an interesting read called "Make the Bread, Buy the Butter".

Basically the same types of insights as in this thread.
Make the Bread, Buy the Butter is a book of things that a blogger tried making at home and compared the cost/convenience of making versus buying. I didn't agree with all of her conclusions, but it's worth reading for her experiences.

One that is out there, maple syrup. One year I decided to make maple syrup from trees in my yard. It takes 40 liters of sap to make one liter of syrup. It's not hard, it's just time consuming and you are boiling lots of sap. It was delicious and I don't regret doing it, but I've only done it the one time. Store bought is just as good and worth the money for good syrup.
I still think it's pretty strange your doctor didn't just test your sugars during your initial appointment but it's good that you're all sorted out now! Sounds like you've got a pretty positive attitude towards it which is great.
I recommend this book a lot to new diabetics because it is a great primer on self-management: Think Like a Pancreas. It can help you get started on things like carb counting, testing and dosing.
Work on getting yourself a CGM if it is financially possible, they are great for seeing how foods impact you, as well as giving you peace of mind about overnight lows/highs/etc.
There's a book called Make the Bread, Buy the Butter by Jennifer Reese. It has 120 recipes in it and she goes through what you should put time into making from scratch and what you should just buy. Here is the book on amazon. It seems to be available on kindle too. I'd highly recommend it, even just to read through. Hope that helps!
It is indeed buttermilk.
In the pre-refrigeration days, cream would often begin to ferment naturally, then churned into butter and buttermilk.
Today, we make cultured buttermilk by adding live lactic acid bacteria to the buttermilk, which produces the tang that you are missing in your homemade buttermilk.
You can simulate the effects cultured buttermilk will have in recipes by adding some distilled white vinegar or lemon juice to the buttermilk. Otherwise, you are better off purchasing cultured buttermilk from the store. It has a very long shelf life in the fridge, compared to your homemade buttermilk.
Also, I would suggest reading the book "Make the Bread, Buy the Butter" and consider if this is even worth your time and money.
Here is a good book that has a lot of info for you: Think Like a Pancreas
It has info on how to manage it, how to dose insulin and count carbs, and how to manage his blood sugar.
You need a whole bunch of training and medical advice, generally beyond the scope of this sub. See if you can talk to a doctor, or if there is a diabetes educator or someone you can speak to in your country. This isn't a situation where you just need a few answers. He needs to learn to count carbs, to set up basal and bolus injections and how much to inject, to read and understand blood sugar readings, there's a lot.
Sounds like you need to get up to speed on your condition. When I was diagnosed I found Think Like a Pancreas immensely helpful to understand what my body was doing. I recommend it highly,
Think Like a Pancreas: A Practical Guide to Managing Diabetes with Insulin
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0738246689/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7-dkFbF3574DW
He will need to learn to treat himself like a type 1 most likely. This includes carb counting, adjusting rapid-acting insulin doses for meals, monitoring his blood sugar, etc. This book is a great primer on Diabetes and how it is managed if you are interested.
This book is a good primer on T1 diabetes: Think Like a Pancreas. It has a lot of what you need to know for management and will get you started into knowing what else you need to learn.
It's really good at explaining how to count carbs, which is a new concept for many, and how to dose for them.
I'd suggest staying away from cookbooks until you have a better idea of what to look for, most diabetic-friendly cookbooks are nonsense.
It really does get easier to manage. Your diabetes will likely be different from your dad's. I strongly encourage you read "Think Like a Pancreas" by Gary Scheiner. And if you're interested in exercise, "The Athlete's Guide to Diabetes" by Sheri Colberg. Truly game changers.

Black people are less likely to be truscum because even if they jump through all the medical hoops, their doctors will often make up bullshit reasons to gate keep just because they hate black people. Black folks are often shy of medicine, psychiatry, and medical doctors due to medical racism. I am not black, but I've spent enough time around black folks to notice this.
That could be why you're not noticing a lot of black people in truscum spaces, as truscum tend to adhere to a strict medical standard unaware that medicine often discriminates against black people, forcing black people to purchase mediciations illegally or look for 'holistic' methods.
Again I am not black, I don't know that much about this, you might want to try reading Medical Apartheid by Harriet A. Washington. She is kind of homo/trans phobic due to her religion I think, and there is a lot of stuff about black trans people she specifically didn't mention because of this, but it will still give a general understanding of this topic.
10% Happier by Dan Harris is exactly this.
Harris is a newscaster who had a panic attack on national television and decided he had to figure out a way to calm tf down. Not a self-help book, but a description of how genuinely hard it was to find a method that works for him, and how the results have been worth the effort.
It appears there was a newer version that came out in 2016 with 15 more chapters. 🤷♀️

There is a book called ‘Medical Apartheid’ that was published in 2008. I own it but tbh I only skimmed through it. This post makes me want to read it.

I am a little over a week into using the Freestyle Libre 2 CGM. While not a Dexcom G6, it's similar. You have to be aware that the BG readings you are getting with your Accu-chek meter will be different from your Dexcom G6 because they measure different things.
Read the link below. It should clear things up a lot.
As for the Bernstein diet, I have both of his books. I haven't implemented anything from them, though. A book that was recommended to me here is Think Like A Pancreas.
It's a great book and a valuable resource so far. I'm about halfway through reading.
Hopefully, with this information, you'll be better informed and will make better decisions regarding your health. I know I have. Also, be sure to talk with your Doctor or Endocrinologist about any issues or questions you have.

Good luck.
I have way too many cook books and I use probably 2 or 3, but some go in and out of that 2 or 3 rotation. My absolute favorite is Make the Bread, Buy the Butter
I like to do things from scratch, within reason. This book does a good job breaking things down in terms of time and cost as well as how different it will turn out
Sounds like you could use some basics info to start with, I suggest this book as an excellent source of both 101-level info and great information on how to manage insulin and diet for best results.
It's going to suck for a bit, it's a harsh adjustment. But you get used to it, for what it's worth, and it becomes much more second nature.
For nausea I suggest sugarfree carbonated drinks, like ginger ale. At least I find them pretty helpful.
I would definitely recommend Think Like a Pancreas by Gary Scheiner
Implements a lot of humor and also incorporates a lot of his own personal experiences with T1D which are very relatable. Super educational and funny. He has a few sections that go over exercise and how to combat lows and highs before, during and after exercise. He also has a chart that roughly provides how many grams of carbs you should have during certain physical activities.
I have my nursing degree, T1D, and I still learned some stuff. If you're really familiar with everything there is about T1D, it will mostly be a humorous read with some educational refreshments.
I really like the book 10% Happier by Dan Harris (Amazon). I actually just started it again today. Dan Harris is an anchor with ABC News, so smart phones, the internet, and social media are all totally in his realm. The book reads less like a traditional self help book, and is more about this one guy’s journey to becoming, you guessed it, 10% happier.
It’s about 220 pages, a quick, fun read. I definitely recommend it.
I think you should check out the book Make the Bread, Buy the Butter to get a better idea for what you should or shouldn't spend your time and money on. Not all prepackaged things are inherently bad or unhealthy.
Think Like a Pancreas and Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution are two that I universally recommend.
This is a great book.
Hey OP just be careful if you decide to buy it to get the last revision. The previous ones have the same title.
I think the most recent one is from 2020:
I scrolled to find this comment. It is an exceptional book about when to draw the line between making and buying. Here's the book if you want it.
You might be interested in a book I bought my daughter. "Make the Bread, Buy the Butter". It's all about this!
