I know I am going to get shot down in flames for asking this but does anyone know of a supermarket that does a specific diabetic food range. I don't eat a lot of ready meals but it would be nice to have something other than an egg on standby to just pop in the oven. Everything is so full of...

avocados are a plan, I love them !!
