Remission

Cream is fine if you're doing low-carb, in fact I found all natural fat is fine. Elmlea is not natural. The standard low-fat advice is not at all helpful to T2s in my experience.

I avoid all fruit juice and cordials, and most fruit, because of the sugar content - fruit drinks usually have fructose which can be worse according to accounts. I'd instinctively mistrust anything that says "no added sugar" or "low sugar" - this might only mean 18 teaspoons of sugar equivalent rather than 20. I do drink zero-sugar drinks - Coke Zero for example - as they have no effect on my blood sugars, but others have reported different experiences.
