[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 1215589, member: 160151"] I am/ was like you. I havent given up the sweet stuff... just swapped them for things which dont raise my bgl. Berries are good! Have some with natural yogurt or double cream (nothing beats strawberries and cream!) There are also low carb low/no sugar cakes, buscuits etc that you can make, i personally like the chocolate mousse which is quick and easy. And then top with blueberries and rasberries! Eat more salads etc. Sweet potato sends my bgl up so i swapped for swede which is fine... so swede chips crisps and mash as an alternative (sweet too) with loads of butter yum. (Sorry am fasting) I make muffins using coconut and/or almond flour, same as carrot cake. There are sugar alternatives. As for breakfast, omlette a fry up with eggs, meat, beans! Try the lchf diet which can reverse your diabetes... the first thing i did when diagnosed was see how to get rid of it... too impatient to wait for doc to tell me what to do and then found doc didnt KNOW what to do. Diabetes is the beginning not the end (unless you follow nhs guidelines) and you will find a new way of life where after your body gets rid of the sugar (which is more adictive than heroin) you will find that the flavours of foods you thought were bland are actually really amazing, you will find that the foods you didnt like you might actually find you like it!
