    Dried Split Red Lentils

    Thank you. Yes on closer examination the 56g per 100g product said uncooked and waitrose product 7.4g per 100g stated "as prepared", so cooked v uncooked makes sense but still a considerable disparity as guess red lentils must be much of a muchness?? I tried in a curry and yes they do work...

    Big surprise! Type 2

    Hi Fjellreven This is my first post and I guess I'm somewhat similar. Suspicion of mine came up at an annual medical in September and confirmed as T2 in the following weeks. It was real shocker as I was not too overweight (1.91m and 84kg), kept myself in reasonably good shape (walking/cycling)...
