Extra dark doesn't require much to give you your fill of choccy requirements). Forget any kind of toast, potatoes (and yes, that does include crisps), pasta, rice, corn and cereal. There's a load of other foods out there that you'd do a lot better on, both with the diabetes and the intestinal issues. And thankfully, it's a diet that doesn't include a lot of foods that taste like cardboard, so it should be relatively easy to keep up. Just go for the good stuff. Meats, fish, poultry, above ground, non-starchy veggies (Some of us are okay with pulses, some aren't. Your meter'll tell you, though the skins might already make them a no-go area for you with the UC), and I'll mention the extra dark chocolate again to make you smile, cheeses, olives, that sort of thing. Careful with spices, but knock yourself out with herbs (spices are fine with T2, but not so much with the UC). Go over your grocery list online and see what the carb content is (total carbs, not "of which sugars"), and decide on what stays and what goes. Find alternatives to your usual brands, or go for something entirely different for a snack. (I never knew celery sticks with a bit of hummus could be bliss, though it might be a bit too fiber-y for you?). That saves you going to the store and spending 2 hours reading labels and coming home with nothing but bin bags. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> </p><p></p><p>You'll figure it out. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></p><p>Jo</p></blockquote><p></p>
