[QUOTE="Roxyj, post: 2148546, member: 507980"] I decided to do that and got the following response, which was actually quite interesting: [I]Thank you for taking the time to contact BBC Good Food, we appreciate your contact and value the opinions of our readers. The diabetes-friendly recipes you refer to were compiled in collaboration with Diabetes UK. When compiling the recipes, we understand Diabetes UK based their selection on the standard guidance that people with diabetes should eat a healthy, balanced diet. That being a diet which broadly follows the Eatwell guide ([URL]https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/the-eatwell-guide/[/URL]) and is low in saturated fat, high in fibre and includes a variety of fruit and vegetables, with an emphasis on vegetables. In the recipe collection ‘treat’ options have been included, the intention being that these would be occasional choices. However, thank you for bringing specific recipes to our attention, we agree a number of these appear incompatible with the intended selection criteria. The BBC food collections ([URL]https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=bbc+food+collections+diabtetes+recipes&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8[/URL]) that you mention is actually a page from the website of our sister company and not part of BBC Good Food. We will, however, pass your comments on to the relevant team responsible. Having received your email we have consulted our Nutritionist, she agrees that with the growing interest in managing carb intake this recipe collection is now due for renewal. As you know, insulin management is very unique to the individual and their circumstances which means carb tolerance will vary. For this reason, the recipe collection needs to accommodate a range of carb contents but we do hope you find some recipes that meet your needs. Thank you once again for bringing this to our attention. Best wishes, [B]BBC Good Food Web Team[/B][/I] I'd say that classes as a positive result. [/QUOTE]
