Message: <blockquote data-quote="HSSS" data-source="post: 2754072" data-attributes="member: 480869">Can you get an air fryer (which is just a mini oven in reality nothing to do with frying) or something similar?Can either of you cook? At all? Microwave meals really aren’t that great as a regular choice. The green and orange labels don’t cover carbs, only added sugar. And carbs are what affect diabetes most. It will be things like rice, pasta, potatoes, pastry, cereals, grains and bread as well as actual sugar that are the highest hitters and ditching them or drastically reducing at least will make the most difference. At the very least try and choose the meals with the least of these and maybe add extra good bits to it Simple home made meals would be so much better for you (both). On the hob works for many choices.  Meat, fish, dairy, eggs, veg or salad eat freely. Don’t be scared natural fats and don’t buy low fat versions as they just add chemicals or sugar instead. Eg a spaghetti bolognaise without the pasta (just have more meat sauce), chilli without the rice, soups, stir fry. All one pot. I’m sure we can give more easy cook ideas if we know what you like</blockquote>
