[QUOTE="ChocFish, post: 91908, member: 981"] Hi jan123 you poor, poor kiddo, hell I think just about everyone feels or has felt like you do at the moment, I know I most certainly did, bear in mind that I have been diabetic for 18 years, by now I am used to it and have totally accepted the situation. But it was hard, really, really hard and even when my caring, supportive husband offered to eat lower carb food with me, do you know I was pleased about it, for his health, not mine because I still was ranting and raving at the unfairness of it all, I missed my doughnuts especially. Of course it gets you down, somehow you feel like a leper, the only one out in the family, I have to sit there with rabbit food while they are tucking into Yorskhire pudding and roast potatoes and what not, then trifle as well, oh why dont you. Our lovely chocoholic has a very valid point there when she suggests that maybe it is time for the whole family to eat a bit healthier as by the sounds of it they are eating their way to some sort of disease or other. My family and many friends, diabetic or not have all drastically reduced their carb intake, increased vegetables and berries, pie and chips, oh maybe have pie and chips as an occasional treat, but look at it, the piecrust = highly likely to be transfats, definitely high carb made with white flour, so WHERE is the nutrition in that, its just cheap nasty filler that leads to illness and clogs up arteries, same with chips, start introducing healthier options, its best for the entire family, its exciting, something new. You can still have lots of nice food to eat, you can do some very luxurious rich chocolate mousse, you can do trifle and cheesecakes, you can do a sponge cake (Fergus has posted a recipe here some time ago), I remember chocoholic wrote about trying it out filling it with whipped cream and berries and it was yummy. Here is a link to some recipes that are very acceptable for families, whether they are diabetic or not [url=http://www.carb-lite.au.com/]http://www.carb-lite.au.com/[/url] Dont go beating yourself up for throwing a wobbly, they are part of life and its good that you dont bottle up your feelings, we all know that stress, upset, etc cause bg to rise. I hope that things get easier for you again soon, I love your upbeat attitude, I bet the casserole was lovely :-) Big, big hugs Karen x [/QUOTE]
