[QUOTE="andie999, post: 151425, member: 28911"] Just got off phone to hubby and realised her diet is quite bad :oops: She has herbal tea for diabetics for breakfast and toast with grilled spam (I think thats what he meant - or got lost in translation lol)...I think her bread intake is quite high and he is going to get someone to take him to a specialist shop in the capital to get a bread suitable for her (-is that possible?). For lunch and dinner she is having grilled meat (usally quite heavy on the salt and garlic) and rice. He thought he was doing good by trying to get her off her 'funje' (mandioca flour made into a paste) but looking above this is just as bad isn't it?? Should she be having salad only? It took him all of his time to get her onto the rice as she kept saying it was food for the chickens.... I managed to send out one of those bllod testing kits and they are having a go tomorrow - i know her blood pressure is high - is this normal with diabetes? He is taking her to the hospital again next week so feels confident that he has a bit more understanding. Would you believe that she doesn't have a wheelchair and he has to carry her there? :roll: Andrea [/QUOTE]
