[QUOTE="bob2025, post: 594530, member: 118102"] Hi Mo and Dawn Thanks for your positive feedback. I specifically check "Can I eat wetabix with a banana" this morning. (not my DN aka "Egor" as she is on holiday and my Gp aka "Dr Evil" is a proper diabetic Doc. but I didn't see him. Nor have I seen a dietitian yet. Obviously, I have completely cut out any alcohol, biscuits, cakes, chocolate, canned drinks, fruit juices and no sweeteners My normal drink is black coffer. But I was advised by Egor to have tea with skimmed milk. So I changed to tea/milk. Bit yukky. According to the photocopy of a leaflet I was handed, which is now my bible; " Cereal is an ideal Breakfast and a useful snack meal when feeling extra hungry" " For people with diabetes treated with insulin, cereal is a perfect bedtime snack" ++ As I'm not treated with insulin does that mean I shouldn't be eating cereal? ++ "Always use skimmed or semi skinned milk to keep fat and calories to a minimum" "Serve with all types of fresh fruit like chopped banana or strawberries pr dried fruit like prunes or sultans" "Cereals don't need to be sugar free - just avoid the like of Frosties, sugar puffs etc." "Look out for cereals that contain oats like oat bran flakes, Krunchies, no added sugar muesli, Ready Brek or porridge" [B]Best choices [/B] [U][I]Porridge[/I][/U] Instant oats like ready brek Oat Bran flakes Oak Krunchies No added sugar muesli Sultana bran All bran Fruit and Fiber [B]Good Choices[/B] [U][I]Weetabix[/I][/U] Sustain Shredded Wheat Bran Flakes Specical K Fruitful Just right Puffed wheat Shreddies Ok stuff is typically corn flakes etc [B] Suggestions[/B] Add fruit to your breakfast cereal Eat more pasta or rice based dishes Have fruit as snacks instead of biscuits Try jacket potato with baked beans as a light snack Eat more beans, lentils etc [B]How to fit in your 5 a day[/B] Have your cereal with a banana (1) Have an apple or pear as a snack mid-morning and mid -afternoon (2) Have two servings of vegetables (2) Sorry is this is really long, more of an essay, than a post. But I wanted to get your feedback on my diet advice to date. Cheers [/QUOTE]
