I was given a book from Diabetes UK when I was diagnosed in 2014. Suggested recipes include porridge with apricots and seeds, baked sweet potato with a fat-free cheesy filling, chocolate and raisin cookies (not even using sweetener), rice and beans and dhal and rice. Fast food swaps include reduced-fat prawn sandwich for all-day breakfast sandwich and baked crisps for ordinary crisps. And then they still wonder why T2 is regarded as a progressive disease which it will be if meals are largely based on carbohydrate.
I get this book out occasionally to remind myself what NOT to eat!
It is no wonder that Chrissylou is confused!
I limit bread intake to one or occasionally 2 slices of HiLo bread at breakfast time. One slice is 5g carbohydrate. All carbohydrates (bread, rice, pasta etc) break down to sugars that will raise blood glucose.
