[QUOTE="Jellyb, post: 708068, member: 129042"] Allergic to carbs and sugar - that's brilliant. Last week a colleague bought me a pancake/dropped scone from the tea trolley at work saying 'I bought you this because I thought it had less calories than a (regular) scone.' I just felt like saying 'IT'S NOT ABOUT THE CALORIES'. I took it, ate it and felt awful for the rest of the morning. Lately, I've found if I eat anything like that it seems to make me want to eat more carbs and then it all goes sadly wrong. I'm very much still at the 'experimenting' stage. Yesterday I went out for lunch and asked for salad instead of chips. Normally I LOVE chips but I'm coming round to the realisation that chips might taste nice but they come at a price. I still really enjoyed my lunch and felt fine after yet the others were still feeling full HOURS later. Yep. My partners Mother is a prime example. She is Type 2 but needs insulin and metformin. When I told her that the nurse had told me to watch out for grapes as one of the things that people missed and that to limit them to only six - she told me that was rubbish and grapes were fine. And don't get me started on the day we visited and there was a box of celebrations chocs beside her and she told us she had had chocolate gateau for lunch. [/QUOTE]
