[QUOTE="axle 222, post: 897517, member: 192704"] Hi.I recently attended a diabetic course called carbs and cals and we were shown a book of that title too. Instead of lots of text it shows you pictures of food,snax,take a ways etc with different size portions. It tells you how many carbs fats etc are in it. Really easy to use and I have found like you being recently diagnosed and on insulin it's a lot to understand.... There is lots of help on this forum,from what I've picked up self control is paramount,but we are human and after x amount of years of having free choice it's not easy to have that reigned in......all be it for our own good. The book is Carbs and cals.by Chris Cheyette and Yello Balolia..it's recommended by diabetes uk..... you can get it from most book shops,Amazon etc.... Just as an example: in a 14 cm bowl a small portion of crisps( looks about 12 crisps) is 10 carbs 95 calories 6 g fat...3 grams saturated fat..... You might find you can have more of something else....but if you need the crisp crunch it shows you the low down As others have said it's your choice..... Wishing you well..... To the more experienced people on this forum I don't mean to cause any ill feeling with my comments just giving personal experience of starting the diabetic journey be it right or wrong. [/QUOTE]
