[QUOTE="karona, post: 1265260, member: 332970"] Firstly, please understand that I love my wife to the end of the Earth, but in the fortnight since I was diagnosed she has: Offered me toast (white bread) and marmalade for supper the evening before a fasting test. :facepalm: On a Sunday visit to a restaurant a friend owns she's gone to the kitchen to order me something 'special', which turned out to be tinned cream of mushroom soup with bread, while she sat down to a full Sunday roast. :) At a friends birthday bash she insisted on approving everything I ordered from the restaurant menu, which prompted the comment "I've got diabetes, not dementia" cue an instant huff. :banghead: Yesterday we were at a carvery for Sunday lunch, I had a lovely plate of roast beef and assorted vegetables, without potatoes. Once she'd finished hers she had potatoes left over, so demanded I ate them for her so she didn't 'look greedy' for taking too much. :) Yesterday she made a lovely savoury snack from lean minced beef and spices, but then 'glazed' it with a sauce from ketchup, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar :arghh: Today she's just handed me a bottle of Lemon Barley Water, "I thought you'd like this, it's only 11% Sugar" :) She's a fantastic cook, she's cooked professionally all her working life, and a lot of the fault that my BMI is larger than my waist size is the huge portions of delicious food she's created over the last 25 years, but something has to change :) [/QUOTE]
