I've been diagnosed for around 10 months now with Type 2 and this forum has really helped me get on top of things (thanks all on the forum). I decided to start making photo recipe cards for the meals I like. I'm sharing these on Twitter if folks want ideas for basic meals. Each recipe contains info on fat, carbs, protein and calories.
I will say straight off that I don't low-carb particularly but I do try to reduce my carbs and usually average around 150 or less daily. So, I realise my recipes won't suit everyone but they work for me and I'm just sharing. I used the advice on here to test before/after meals to see how these meals worked for me and I'm fine with them. I generally have smaller portions as this helps with the carb control.

Enjoy. All feedback welcome. If you'd like me to try out a recipe - feel free to ask. All recipes are individual servings (just multiply by number of people you want to feed to increase ingredients).
