[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2409265, member: 196898"] You need to be aware that I am still using some medication in my control regime so will probably be more carb tolerant as a result. That said I find there are some single-person meals in their cook/chill section that I can tolerate quite well. My local store has a good supply of mainly Indian dishes such as King Prawn Bhuna, or Lamb Rogan Josh. They come without rice, but go well with cauli rice instead. As an example the last time I had the Prawn Bhuna, my PRE/ 2hrPP/ 4hrPP readings were 5.2/5/5.3 mmol/l. I have also from the same cook/chill section but different brand: tried their spinach and ricotta cannelloni, and their shepherd's pie. These are larger portions, and so I used to share one with my wife to reduce portion size. A whole one in one sitting would IMO break the dam and flood my bloodstream with sugar. But I tolerate half portion ok. However, I have since found that the cheap ASDA frozen foods have a reasonable selection that again I use as half portions with some veggies. I get Cottage Pie, Shepherd's Pie, Fish Pie, even chop suey with noodles was surprisingly Sympatico. (that one returned results of 6.9/7.2/5.3 for the whole portion, on top of a poor start from lunch) But ASDA meals do tend to be higher carb than the Aldi ones. These are all lazybones quick fixes in the microwave. Cook from frozen. No washing up, simples. Check the labels [/QUOTE]
