[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2203931, member: 6467"] I feel your pain! On first diagnosis I laid into the fruit because I thought it was "healthy" until a Dietitian clued me in. "I had a banana for pudding and me sugar went ape". Well, yes, lots of carbohydrate there. "I changed it for grapes and noticed me sugar was still high in places". Well, yes, mainly sugar in jelly. Plums will also be quite high in sugar. However we are starting to see a problem. If the plums in Lidl are too expensive then many other things are likely to be too expensive as well. I think the first thing that you have to take on board is that if you expect a pudding to be "sweet" then that is a major problem for a diabetic. Unless you use artificial sweeteners (which can cause other problems) then you are unlikely to get a sweet pudding that is also good for you. I am having a "work hard at being good" phase at the moment and miss my little treats. What I am having for a treat at the moment is cooking apples stewed with some lemon juice. Tart, but tasty. Adding double cream takes away the tartness and makes a very nice desert (IMHO). I am also having some Oppo low carb ice cream but that is expensive. The main advice is to try stuff and "eat to your meter" which you are obviously already doing. Bottom line; savoury is good for a desert. [/QUOTE]
