Thankyou Yorksman and Fraddycat, l am expecting a knockback when l ask about a meter.....but l am not going to let it get to me at this early stage...l still have a lot to learn and experience, but l am determined not to let this take over my life...but just to be a part of it. Even my youngest...

I would like thank everyone for their replies/advice and experiences. As a 46yr old man l have never looked at nutritional info, it was just a case of l like that so in the trolley it goes, so l agree with you Frances labelling is confusing but my Wife has took this on and l think our next big...
