Since diagnosis in 2003 @cdpm, I've had to ditch lentils because their carb content pushed up my blood glucose to unacceptable levels.

Your experience may be different. Let us know how you get on.

The eggs were bad so I tried a dented can of pasta but it was bad too. Better luck tomorrow I guess. By the time I did all this I didn't feel like eating the cottage cheese.

Had an opportunity to visit a different food store yesterday. And found some pieces of meat for 2 dollars and change each. So for a few days now I won't need to eat my lentil soup or I can space it out. Or put some in the soup?
So today will be 1 of the pieces of meat I found. Maybe with half the lentil soup can which is 1 cup for half the can.
