[QUOTE="Charles Robin, post: 490063, member: 92241"] Well, I have just thrown a very successful dinner party! My wife and I made a low carb flax meal pizza, with some celeriac chips (we were just going to have pizza, then realise at the last minute we were going to have more people than the pizza was going to feed, and no more flax meal, so we had to improvise). We served a choice of almond meal chocolate cake or almond meal muffins for dessert. As it turned out, everyone had some of everything, and thoroughly enjoyed it too! I think this night will be a highlight of the year for me. At the beginning of 2014, I was on a high carb diet, and my cooking was limited to putting a ready meal in the oven. Now I have just cooked a meal for myself, my wife, and four of our closest friends. They were honest about what they thought, and gave some suggestions on how to improve the dishes, but the response was overwhelmingly positive. I also ate well from the food we cooked. My bloodsugars started at 4.6, peaked at 6.8 and finished at 5.7. Even four weeks ago these sorts of figures were an unachievable dream for me. I have lived for so long believing my life would end with complications. It's almost strange to feel that this can be averted. I now firmly believe that if I continue on my current path, diabetes will be a part of my life, and not the end of it I will not ruin my wife's life, and any children we have in the future will not have to see their father die an avoidable death many years before his time. These are some very good feelings. [/QUOTE]
