Hi All. First of all I would like to say that I do not spend any great amount of time in pubs or eating eatblishments but when I do go out I have found that there is never more than one or two soft drinks on sale! Even at one of the larger 'Plastic Pubs' as I call them have only one brand...

Hi'ya to all. I'm sorry for not getting back to reply to you all sooner and thank you for taking the time to post ideas on the problem of breakfast and what to eat. After only a few months now I think i'm leaning towards the fresh fruit option in the morning as eating straw 'crispbread' does...

Hi all. Its been a while since I last wrote so I thought I should pop in to see who is around still, read the latest posts and look up info on fresh fruit in the diet. The reason for the fresh fruit info is because my better half and I stocked up on fresh fruit recently and included a few...

Hello hanadr,catherin and Nigel. Thank you all for taking time out to write back, your info is very welcome I can assure you. I am very tight on the use of Satfats and avoid them. Since my M.I. hit in 03 I have followed the olive oil trail and allways will but, I do have the odd little bit...

Hi all. Its been nearly a month now since kick off and i'm still here even after the 'Drop the Sugar bit.' I won't say it has been easy but its not been that hard to kick the habbit of spooning out two heaped spoons of sugar and adding them to my tea several times a day and eating the odd sweat...

Sweat Potatoes (GI-54) My thanks go to LittleV for the hint on trying Sweat Potatoes as part of my diet. Comments on line state how good they are for you, a wonder food and great for diabetice as it's slow to digest. Well! As part of a 'Try out new food' night I served up sliced SPs lightly...

Hi'ya LittleV. It's good to meet you, my name is Paul. Thanks for the Sweat Potato Chip hint. We bought sme S. P.s this week to see what results would follow after testing. Still to try? As for the topping of cauliflower to replace mash; yes, it has been posted here but I have not tried it yet...

Lovinglife Hi again. We gave the Dip/sauce/Soup a try this evening....well done! After the main meal of chicken kebab and salad I used the dip I prepared earlier on crisp bread topped with mild cheese and sprinkled parmesan over and grilled. 10/10 Not a bad smack folks. But....don't grill the...

Hi'ya lovinglife. Thank you for the sauce recipe, i'll give it a try especially with the new found celeriac chips someone told me about on here. Ref the, past (a) life; nice one! :lol: See you later and thanks again for the info. Take care Best regards Paul

John, hello again. Thank you for your points and comments above. After reading I was off cooking the very same light grill for breakfast. :lol: At the moment, breakfast seems to be the hurdle each day having to choose what is best for me and what I fancy. I'm leaning toward the fish direction...

Hello John, it's good to meet you. First morning readings seem to be O.K. it's the later ones especialy the post breakfast test that hit the high scores and the P.M. ones. I had my fist mixed been, olive, tomato sald with toast for breakfast today!!!!!! It's like being back in Greece without the...

Re: Type 2 Diet Thank you Patch for the reply and info. I was advised not to go to far in cutting out all sugar and given some easy reading on hypos. Feeling ill at present is not as bad as I was feeling way back. Planning meals ahead will be the next big hurdle but i'm lucky that my partner...

Hi everyone. After two weeks of tests I was confirmed last night as having Type 2 and that I need to follow a low carb diet. I have to admitt that over the last seven years I have been following quite a good food diet and not bought processed foods so i'm quite happy to dig deeper towards the...

Good evening/morning synonyn. Pleased to meet you. As a matter of fact: I finished my reply to totsy this evening and had a read through a topic before signing off and found exactly that! I went down stairs as if I had discovered a new element. lol! :idea: Of course I have jumped the gun and...

Hello totsy, thank you for asking. It's good to meet you, my name is Paul. To answer your question; I had, with several others, yet another blood test; a Dopler check and watched the "Hunt the Diabetic's leaflet" game between the 'D' nurses and won a free copy. Not had time to read it yet!!! I...
