[QUOTE="DianaMC, post: 1989527, member: 488381"] Holland & Barrett health food store on the high street do various noodle dishes and you can order online too: [URL]https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/food-drink/rice-pasta-pulses-grains/noodles/[/URL] They seem to contain the konjac basis mentioned above. And there’s even a pot noodle version! You spoke about having headaches sometimes and felt curious as to why blood sugar seemed higher when eating less. I too tended to work long hours without a break and sometimes forgot to eat breakfast and lunch. Apparently that does suit some people. But it was pointed out to me that I might be getting dehydrated - hence I try to at least keep a large bottle of water on my desk now. And carrot and celery cut up, kept in a lunch box or snack bag can be useful, portable nibbles. Also, I was told that stress can raise blood sugar. So I try to reduce stress level by pulling back from work sometimes- even doing just a few minutes meditation or breathing exercise. Or go for a quick change of scene! I was diagnosed with pre diabetes in July last year. I decided to switch to whole food versions (ie brown) of rice and noodles and smaller portions of them. I have also stopped eating cakes and biscuits - which are typical British snacks and treats. I’ve lost weight and my HBA1C has gone down a notch so this seems to be all in a better direction. But it’s an approach that requires adjustment and won’t suit everyone. If straight swaps suit you better, the konjac versions of noodles have less carb. Needing to have less saturated fat in the diet is something that the NHS people also recommend for people with diabetes issues - the NHS advice is not necessarily well thought of on this forum. However, it is possible that bits of it may have value, for some people. It could be worth asking the doctor about. Do you tend to have a lot of coconut milk/cream/oil in your national food dishes? I understand those tend to be high in saturated fat. Might be worth looking for the low fat version ingredients for home cooked dishes? The bigger supermarkets tend to stock lower fat coconut milk. For lunch needs, if you’re near a large supermarket or Boots, they sometimes sell cottage cheese with or without added flavours, which can be an option as a low fat protein snack. Don’t know where you are based, but there is a store next to Rum Wong thai restaurant in Guildford, sells all sorts of variations of noodles - including brown rice fine noodles for noodle soups. Aldershot has a big SE Asian community so there are probably good specialist stores there, too. I would also imagine a bit of Kimchi might be an ok snack?
