You had better avoid Barangaroo then, you might give in to temptation!That is where I live
We could try a diabetic friendly version with Halloumi chips and OPPO icecream.That is one way to fast track diabetes.... not sure how that would even be good at any level, taste wise...

And Big Food would be cheering that person on !!I should think it's quite easy for the average (not necessarily diabetic) person to consume 400 carbs a day, bowl of pasta, couple of slices of toast, bag of crisps, all those 'healthy' things full of hidden sugar. You wouldn't even have to be eating sweets and cakes either. Add those things in and you'd be nearer 800.
Too right @Tophat1900, Particularly if those guidelines have been 'doctored' by Big Food.You seemed to of dodged the bullet, nice job.
It's amazing what can be achieved when you do the opposite to conventional dietary guidelines.

Good to hear you are an Aussie, @Tophat1900. The great Aussie dessert, difficult to escape unless you can swim a long way !!That is where I live

But they got some of our money and maybe their idea of a reward was those little toys in boxes of cereals !!Now I feel cheated.... I ate like that once, maybe not quite that bad, but I never got anything from big food, not even a card.

Yeah, same here. Hot weather doesn't help. Ice-cream the excuse to cool you down. Ricotta cheese just does not taste the same!!Born and bred. Growing up, dessert was mandatory. My parents still follow that rule. Been along time since I ate ice cream or pavlova or fruit cake with half inch thick layer of icing on top....
Don't you have any low carb icecream like OPPO in Australia?
At least you have low carb potatoes.
We need to get those over here. I have stopped eating chips now.Yeah, Carisma potatoes are the low carb ones I have tried in the past. Cook them, then cool them over night in the fridge and reheat. You can cool and reheat a number of times. Lowers the impact on bg levels. 100g works out at about 10g of carbohydrate.
I had reheated pasta last night - tested after 21/2 hours and my BS was 6.00 which is about normal for me after pasta. Why not test to see what affect potatoes etc have - I tried a jacket potato a couple of weeks ago and my BS was 7.5 after 1 hour and 6.1 after 2 hours. My nemesis though is still Scampi as that puts me up to 9.5 and is still at 8.00 after 3 hours so I have taken that off my menu although may try again in a year or so.We need to get those over here.

Nice tip about cooling and reheating. Does that apply to other foods?
