[QUOTE="misterjohn, post: 2009290, member: 493891"] Hi, thanks for reading my post. I'm only recently diagnosed... and I'm not on medication. The protocols that my health provider follows suggest that I shouldn't need a testing kit until I go on medication; so this means I'm not testing. (I might actually buy a kit myself because I'm learning slowly that our bodies react differently and that testing might be useful). I'm following a rule of thumb that the nutritionist gave at an introductory briefing for newly-diagnosed diabetics. The suggestion was to keep under 10g per 100g for carbs when following food labels. As I mentioned in my post, I would only be eating these Slimming World meals at the weekend. And it would be a very rare occasion indeed that I would take an option which recommended a side dish of rice. I've made a commitment to myself to increase exercise (I've become very dependent on fossil fuel transport over the last couple of years). So the recent HbA1c reading comprises a week of cycling (when we had the unexpected heatwave). However, cycling since then has proved impossible!! I'm hoping to commit myself to swimming maybe once or twice a week. Hopefully this extra biographic information will put my HbA1c reading in perspective. I'm going to take another look at some of the pre-prepared meals at Tesco ... because it's possible that they are carrying some meals which meet the rule of thumb of below 10g per 100g of carbs. The Iceland range contains, as I mentioned, a modest range of sizes. 550g is the maxinun. There are some at 500g, some at 350g, some as low as 300g. Some are lower in carbs (the minestrone soup, for instance, is 6g per 100g ... but it is 500g). Thanks for reminding me that not one size will fit all!! I need to keep that firmly in mind and moderate any future postings accordingly! Point taken! [/QUOTE]
