[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 638361, member: 41816"] Hi soppy one, and welcome. You have had some great advice so far, and I agree with all of it. We all go through a weird, mourning, shocked phase, when all we can think about is what we can't eat any more. You are going through it now, and I empathise, because it is horrible. But what you will soon come to realise, is that there are vast numbers of really delicious things that you can eat - some of which you probably thought have been off the menu for years... Full fat yogurt, cream, butter and cheese are all great for diabetics, because they digest slowly and release their energy much more steadily than those 'complex' carbs the NHS keep pushing. Meat, fish, eggs, etc. are all great. And you don't have to worry about trimming all the fat and chicken skin any more. You can have mayo on your salads (watch the sugar content) The internet is peppered with delicious low carb recipes for cakes, puds and biscuits. Cheesecake, and there's even a key lime pie recipe somewhere. The bad news is that diabetic eating usually takes a little more planning and prep. The good news is that the food can be interesting, delicious and may well be more nutritious. :) [/QUOTE]
