Me being a pain I've been told but pudding is a sweet and not savory part of a meal Cheese to me is the latter. Not looking to make anything just buy and eat.

How many grams per serving would be advised?

I've been told fruit is good for me. I had a banana for pudding and me sugar went ape I changed it for grapes and noticed me sugar was still high in places Berries are good I've been told but are too expensive Plums are next in line but again price is an issue The object of the exercise is to...

Going for me annual blood test next week to see how thing's are. Will post results when I get them. As far as the grapes are concerned, I need to find a replacement. Berries are to expecive atm so am looking for an alternative.

Are grapes a fruit we can eat or are they like banana's to high in sugar?

What I was on about was that 5th Feb last year I had 3 heart attacks. The doc at the hospital said I was also type 2 diabetic. They said I had to adopt a low sugar and low fat diet to survive. Over Christmas I had more sugar and fat than normal ( well it was Christmas) Going back to normal for...

back to work today back to normality back to me low sugar and low fat diet what a happy new year eh? still the main thing is that I'm still sucking wind.

Went to me doctor this morning to renew my replete prescriptions and had a word about my "What Do You Think" questions. She said she wasn't interested about average blood readings because my latest HbA1c was 5.1 and she was happy with that. She also said that if I felt the need to do a blood...

Not been on here a while but I have a question. Since my heart attack and being told I'm type 2 in Feb this year I've been taking blood readings every night before bed on average 10pm. I've added all the readings up and worked out the average per night. It's 8.4 Now bearing in mind it is the...

Well done Oldvatr done yourself proud there. I disagree with this 65 cut off. That is out of order. I did my frying experiment. 500g of 5% fat steak mince fried the added 2 cups of mixed gravy and 1/2 a bag of mixed veg. Blood was 7.1 after. I'm pleased with that and have added the recipe to...

The fat doctor I'm on about is the consultant the operated on me after I had 3 heart attacks. This is the problem I have Keeping him happy as well as keeping the sugar doctor (diabetic doctor) happy. The way I see it is that it's all well and good doing without carbs but without carbs your body...

The reason for draining the fat off the mince is to keep the Fat doctor happy. If I make granulated gravy then I will be adding carbs but not an accessive amount.

Just been reading about no carb oils. If these oils have no carbs in them does it mean that I can fry beef in the frying pan with these oils and it still has no carbs added? I was thinking about mince being fried in the pan, draining the fat and using the cooked mince added with veg for a meal...

Is there anything wrong in being a good boy all week then having over the top treat? I'm thinking about a cup of tea, two sugars and a box of six cakes.

This is the way I look at things. Before I was told I had type 2 I had my tea with milk and two sugars. It was suggested I had my tea without milk and sugar. Like a good boy I gave it a try. Did'nt like it so I stopped drinking tea altogether apart from my cup first thing. The reason for my...
