[QUOTE="DeejayR, post: 1825361, member: 126679"] Hi there, well done tackling your condition before it becomes a problem. No denial in your household then! All good advice above and I'd just add that if you get a fingerprick test meter you'll be able to work out more specifically what you should eat and what not to. The NHS doesn't want you do this but I think most of us do it anyway. There is a lot of advice on the forum on what meter to buy and when and how often to use it. Another point is that if you feel hard done by at giving up favourits foods, invent some that are even better. Here's a little recipe I'm using lately ... rhubarb cooked (cos I grow it), sweetener (xylitol, my choice, not everyone's), double cream, Greek style yoghurt (cos it needs using up), chopped 90% cocoa chocolate, put in a whizzer, eat. Green salads apart from lettuce can be rocket incl the flower heads, sorrel (lemon spinach), cress, nasturtium flowers, white cabbage (base for your own coleslaw too with roast nuts), nice home-made dressing, blimey I don't know why I ever bought supermarket packs. You can grow tons of flavoury green stuff in a very small space too, apart from nasturtiums, which will try to take over your entire world. Welcome to food heaven. [/QUOTE]
