[QUOTE="poshtotty, post: 607630, member: 100221"] Hi [USER=122246]@brettsza[/USER] Welcome to the forum. I had no history of diabetes in the family either and am the first one to be diagnosed so have had to find my own way. It was like swimming through treacle until I found this site! You've had some brilliant guidance from [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER] already so I'm not going to add to it, except to say that I travel a lot too and snacking/eating while travelling is a problem. I've chosen to eat low car/high fat and so now rarely get hungry but always try to carry snacks such as nuts, chunks of cheese and sticks of celery. Celery is useful as a sandwich substitute. I like to spread celery sticks with full-fat soft cheese, or wrap ham or salmon slices around them and don't feel I'm missing out too much. Also black coffee with cream is helpful and also filling and often easier to pick up at motorway services than low carb food. If you're staying away fro home while travelling, you can eat a full English breakfast without toast and guilt! Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
