Overwhelmed....can't think...husband now diabetic

Hi Lucylocket61

That's something I'll try, adding what I want and keeping away what he can't have.
Thanks

HI Defran,
Yes definitely me!
But I think I'm getting the hang of it by reading what you are all saying. Just do the same as usual but keep his plate clear of the carbs, therefore recipes with them in, remove it or substitute...

I've got some sweetener rather than sugar so I'll have to have a play around and see what I can make.
Just for the record I have already made aubergine lasagna, which is nice (not the same by any means) but very nice.

thanks again.
:wink:

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your help. I'm plodding along getting the knack of some things and even made my own recipe for him for Tiramisu..... he's posted it somewhere.

I used sugar free biscuits, mascarpone, eggs, sweetener and sugar free chocolate powder.
I actually liked it too.
The biscuits aren't terribly low in carbs as each one comes up around 3-4 g and I used quite a few (21) in the Tiramisu dish - however it serves between 4-6 depending if you can get the dish off them (namely my husband) The best thing is his sugar levels did NOT go up after 2 hours of eating it, so FANTASTIC from him.

If anyone can't find the recipe I'll be glad to give it.
Actually I'll find his post.

I also stole a recipe from HAIRY BIKERS - they are currently trying to diet and they made a lovely low calorie and NO carb lasagna. I usually make mine with aubergines but basically it becomes a moussaka so I tried theirs....
The secret ingredient instead of pasta - LEEKS. It didn't taste of leeks and actually was really nice. I used cornflour to thicken my white sauce and reduce the amount of cheese so it wasn't laden with 100's of calories so that I could eat it freely too.

I'll link these in too.

Just finished a 10.87 km bike ride with hubby who's trying to lose weight, our longest yet - not bad after starting a month ago at 3km and thinking that was fantastic.

Ciao for now.

Here's the post for my a yummy Tiramisu....

yes it has a lot of biscuits - it's because they are like small skinny rich tea biscuits so I did 3 layers. You could get away with 2 layers but remember YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO EAT ALL THE TIRAMISU - its for 4-6 people!!!!! GREEDY BUGGERS lol

Pop it in the fridge for at least a morning and it will be lovely by tea time as a smashing treat... it might be safer to SERVE it then the diabetic member won't get to eat it all. Or another idea, make smaller ones.

mmm now you know who my husband is....

Yes I did try that approach, but then it was 2 meals trying to be made at once which didn't work! He does make himself and omelette at lunch times which takes the pressure off me then so I make myself something different as I don't like them.
