[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1683163, member: 256617"] Hi I am not an expert as I have been doing this seriously since Christmas. The simple one first, black tea is fine as is peppermint tea and a spoon of coconut oil (I saw Pete Evans do this on a youtube video, although he is Paleo it is low carb). Why not choose one of your times when both you and your husband are together mainly. I would think fully eating if possible is better than snacking, as you possibly want to reduce the amount of insulin being produced? - This is an assumption on my part. By fully eating I mean a protein like fish or meat, maybe a third to half of your plate being vegetables such as cabbage / greens, mushrooms, radish, broccoli, cauliflower or and possibly a small amount of carrots, with some good fat either with the meal such as some avocado, or after the meal some cheeses and or Greek full fat yogurt. These are just some ideas. If you are not sure, start with your Doctor to ask for an "Xpert" diabetes nutritionist (assumed you are UK). [/QUOTE]
