I saw Balsamic on a list of 'free foods' somewhere so I thought that was Ok to use. My options seem to be diminishing rapidly.That's very bad news for me if I can't rely on protein, I'm stuffed if that's the case!I thought Mayo was a no-no until I saw it on the vegetarian forum. I'm still unsure about a lot of things I see listed as 'Ok'. I was told by a Type II diabetic friend that porridge was good at lowering blood sugar levels but apparently it's not, except for him, it seems.This seems to be getting worse and worse.This is the problem I'm finding: that what works for one person doesn't work for another.The Nurse's advice was: "Don't worry, you need some carbs to fuel the body, just eat a healthy diet in moderation." and "You don't need to test yourself." - really useful!I thought two slices of Bergen Bread a day was very moderate, but apparently it's not.I think if I had limitless resources I could find the top quality foods to eat but when you're on ESA it's difficult to find healthy food on a budget. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />Kind Regards,Bob.</blockquote>
