Good afternoon my friends,yes its me again with another question,could I say once a week safely eat some tinned fruit with some double cream as its been 6 months now and just fancied a little treat to celebrate my last Mb1Ac results.:)
 
I would say:
- go for tinned fruit in fruitjuice, not syrup
- have a portion
- test your blood glucose before and after, as usual
and see what happens!
:)

You will likely see some different variations depending on portion size, fruit type, etc. so why not have fun experimenting?

:D
 
I don't think that a diabetes diet is meant to be all misery and denial. I came to this conclusion a long time ago when I realised that strawberries and extra thick double cream was LCHF. What a shame.
I support @Brunneria 's suggestion that you take one for the team and try some fruits, carry out some tests, treat it as research and post a table of the results.

What sort of tinned fruit are you thinking of? It all reminds me of my childhood Sunday tea at grandmas. Delicious tinned fruit with Carnation Cream, and like @ally1 said, mandarin oranges in jelly.

Mandarin oranges in Cointreau can lead to a very interesting evening.

How many of us used to have this ! Also tinned red salmon sandwiches lol
 
@wiseowl_123

You do realise that we are all hanging on the edge of our seats, bated breath, dying of curiosity to hear back on how your blood glucose has performed with this fruit/cream fest?

:D

Please... put us out of our agonising wait...
 
Good evening @Brunneria my good friend I do apologise I have been out with my camera most of the day and I promise that I will start tomorrow,it will be one test every day for a week,I have got to get the cream tomorrow morning ,that never had cream before I am not sure what to get,I do my shopping at Tescos ,I have a tin of pear halves in juice but looking on the tin it seems to be quite high in carbs,but will do it for the team:D

Not a fan of either runny or evap but do like the Madagascan vanilla double cream for a treat. Haven't seen a spike with it so far. It is sweetened but much less than yoghurts etc. and can be dolloped out without whisking. 6.0 per 100ml and wouldn't have that much at one go. Have tried M&S, Sainsburys and Tescos so far. :) Waitrose next maybe.

My family too. We had three children and there was only ever two cherries per tin. I loved evaporated milk.
