    Let's have a grumble!

    I've been a diet controlled diabetic for over a decade noe, I know friends won't remember so I simply say no thanks because when I say it to friends I've told several times and they don't remember, they say 'I'm sorry!). As I also have a lifelong sight impairment which is invisible except to the...

    I did this as a refresher course along with my newly diagnosed husband last year and really enjoyed it, getting lots out of it. Six weeks, 2 hours a week. Anyway, this link will take you to the spring newsletter...

    Commercial ice cream

    Wow!! I've not eaten butter for *decades*. I've almost cut out bread, potatoes, pasta. My bread is home made brown flour, husband hasn't acquired a taste for brown rice or pasta so I only eat potato a couple of times a seek, rice and pasta maybe a couple of times a month, home made museli...

    Commercial ice cream

    The low fat is because my weight is a bit too high, and I'm not getting it as low as it should be. Fat has probably been my bete noire since I left school, that and being very short in height in today's terms. I don't generally get hunger pains between meals, but I do eat at close to the same...

    Commercial ice cream

    Calorie counting. 1tbs double cream equals 74 calories. But it doesn't look at all 'forbidden' at one tbs for 8g of fat I'll agree. I was also told only one piece of fruit a day, keeping even natural sugar to the absolute minimum, but I find two or three fun sized suits my digestion better if...

    Commercial ice cream

    Because of the introduction of 'light' cream substitutes. I have as little milk and cream as posdible, partly to be healthy, but I have found too much milk doesn't do me any favours: it may be why my daughter has a problem. (Her son has it via his paternal fsmily, poor mite!)

    Commercial ice cream

    I'm surprised double cream is in any way allowable!! I must look it up in my carbs book. Having bern given the off the bottom of the diabetic scale after 11 years, in no way do I want to upset the apple cart. I've only ever been diet controlled, so you see ehy I'm being really strict with myself.

    Thanks (but a pity the chocolate has nuts in it). Plenty of vanilla to choose from. :)

    Commercial ice cream

    thanks for all the suggestions. Yes, have had a couple of ice cream makers - but it was never really 'on' having to plug them into the electric so we gave that up as a lost cause some years ago. Doh : should have thought vegan. Just goes to show, 15+ yrs since daughter developed dairy...

    Commercial ice cream

    A healthy diet, but low gi in carbs. Husband is on diabetic medication and to be fair so far his 'numbers' have dropped so well, his meds have been halved, we eat the same but he exercises more than me, where does Oppo ice cream come ftom?

    Commercial ice cream

    Thanks, that'll be suitably expensive then not to buy! (As a diet controlled diabetic, I can't afford to fall off a strict diet).

Have discovered what...

    How do you manage meals when you have a family

    Ask to go on an XPERT course if you can. Six x 2hr courses with others, we met a wide variety of people and the practice nurse (we were ftom all over the toen) could answer everything, even a fsmily with differnt types of diabetes, and peole from a variety of cultures, and being practice nurse...
