You've not discovered pork scratchings yet then..
Pretty high carb.. about 22% ...Cashew nuts . . . Homer drool

They are, but for me they don't act like they're that high carb. If I'd dose for the carb content I'd go hypo in no time, so for me cashews count as a low carb snack
Pork scratching with an aioli dip, heavenly!Nope, but I have now thanks
Peanuts aren't cashews though.... and neither are really nuts.. but thats another story..During my Libre trial I ate a full 150g bag of normal peanuts & it hardly registered.

Do they have a special name in the Netherlands?Pork scratching with an aioli dip, heavenly!
Yes but as mentioned before you are probably not diabetic.During my Libre trial I ate a full 150g bag of normal peanuts & it hardly registered.

They're not eaten very much in the netherlands. Usually it's called something like 'spekknabbels' or 'knabbelspek' (bacon nibbles or nibble bacon, the word 'knabbel' also being suggestive of nibbling a crunchy food) but many Dutchies won't know what they are.Do they have a special name in the Netherlands?

When you put it that way, it sounds like cat food.They're not eaten very much in the netherlands.

Here in the Netherlands there's often a cooled counter where they have tapas-like foods. Three for a fiver, and most of it is mediterranean in nature. Little cold sausages, prosciutto and other cold cuts, cubed hard cheeses, various olives (with cheese, pesto or garlic), shrimp with a marinade or garlic etc... It's one of the few places in the supermarket where I can really scoop all sorts up and into my trolly without having to over-think it.Just a heads up, fridge raiders and mature cheddar and chive dip are the best just for anyone sick of sucking on a boiled egg as a snack. Morrison’s have just sorted the quick snack go too out. Super low carb and so tasty

It looks like your remission has had an amazing impact, you are very lucky. Unfortunately they may not have the same impact on everyone so we test to the meters and see how it all impacts. If lucky enough to have CGM it looks like it becomes a lot easier (accuracy dependent of course)During my Libre trial I ate a full 150g bag of normal peanuts & it hardly registered.

One of my travel snacks is almost a quiche filling but firmer. Beat two eggs with a tablesp of double cream plus black pepper. Put about 10g of grated cheese into each section of a bun tin and top with the egg mixture. Add ham, chives, spring onion, etc to the cheese as wanted.
I find each egg does a couple of 'buns'.
Cook at 350 degrees, gas 4 for about 12-14 mins until firm.
