[QUOTE="PrincessRahma, post: 1159554, member: 297322"] Yes it is quite different. I never had rice in my diet everyday. If I did eat rice i did there would only be a teaspoon of oil not the same amount as my mother in law puts into it. They put oil into their soups too. My father in law doesn't know that I am diabetic because hubby and my mother in law tell me that he can never find out I don't know why or what would happen if he did know. And it is awkward to avoid him knowing. Here in this house they like biscuits cakes and ice creams (when it's hot for ice cream) (no I avoid those as much as possible) they don't have sweetener here either. There are some things that I have found that are useful eg low sugar/fat cereal and semi skimmed and skimmed milk. They have like a wholmeal nan but I can't get it for myself my father in law would have to get it which would bring up a lot of questions eg why do we want it Also I don't get to eat breakfast if I did it would be just a mug of tea or coffee They just make eggs or have their traditional bread or Iranian nan bread (the Iranian bread has less salt) with yoghurt I can't eat the eggs because after eating it I feel sick so I stopped eating them. I eat ocra soup with rice or beans & rice or cous cous if my mother in law makes it. I don't fry food because I know that frying it is the worst thing to do. I learnt this and a few other things when my dad was diagnosed with diabetes when he was between 50-60 yrs old I can't remember the exact age. Thank you for asking me. Sorry about the long reply Catherinecherub. [/QUOTE]
