[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1883400, member: 355878"] Due to there being no double cream available in the strawberry season I began getting the extra thick and putting a spoonful in my mug as I passed the fridge (this does mean having a spoon with the mug) I then go past the sink and collect some cold water, stir to dilute the cream, then arrive at the percolator and pour in coffee. It does have the advantage of cooling the coffee - as I can't drink hot liquids. Last Christmas I experimented with Yorkshire puddings to go along with the dinners I had with family - I used the thick cream and water instead of milk and was very pleased with the results on the table and my BG level of 5.6 mmol/l afterwards on both days. It was over a year since diagnosis and I had been low carbing all that time, and I suspect that in the early days I would have reacted far more. At almost 2 years since diagnosis I know that my insulin resistance is pretty much gone, so I do eat some foods which were not on my list for the first year. I do feel a bit awkward writing to the newly diagnosed about things I can do now - but I hope that it encourages you to look forward to what might be possible before very long. [/QUOTE]
