I'm curious to know why people with diabetes need cookery courses?

I went on a course called Heart Hub (I think) which is a local monthly session for people with diabetes and/or heart conditions. It included "healthy" meals such as pasta bake and curry with rice. After about three sessions I explained this was no good for my diet and stopped going.

Hi, I want to try new things, I tend to eat the same things week after week, need to get some more up to date eating, When I,m bored I eat all the wrong things, so a couple of days away on a course would be great.

Try reading the low carb diet forum what have you eaten thread for some new ideas and if you see anything you like you can ask for recipes etc

Hi there is supposed to be a course called desmonds run by the nhs, but nobody at the nhs knows anything aout it

You'll get all the wrong advice on that about piling your plate with healthy carbs and low fat foods.

@charliepup9 Have a look at the DESMOND website:
http://www.desmond-project.org.uk/
but it's nothing to do with cookery lessons !

If you want to try new foods, do as suggested already, and look at the low carb area of the forums. There are some recipe threads there, and if you want to explore further try Googling for low carb recipes and/or menus. There's a wealth of stuff out there and it's all free too!

PS Don't buy the "wrong food" - if it's not in the house then you can't be tempted - and you definitely can't eat it...

Hi Charlie all you need to do is substitute sugar with sweetener replace flour with ground almonds if baking. Do an internet search plus this forum and you will find loads of different things to make and try. (preferably not all at once )

Seriously though, you just cook meals to suit your own diet needs, I don't think you need to be taught that if your already competent in the kitchen.

you could be right, but Struggle to cook for myself,I could not teach someone else, I would end up battering them with a pan.

Yes @charliepup9 please do! It' just my name for those of us who put their diabetic "vital statistics", e.g. medication, test results , in their signatures, so all you need to do is add whatever information you want to share. It can sometimes help if you have a query and people can see at a glance how you're doing, which could help them give you appropriate advice.

How about a

No chips, no buns, no doughnuts, no coke, just plain burgers with or without cheese, lettuce, full english breakfast without fried bread, coffee with double cream, coke zero, and greek yoghurt and berries to replace the McFlurry.

Oh, and knives and forks
