You have to laugh......

[Apricot]

Apologies to Mods if this isnt allowed....

Am a Type 2 and struggling...so am watching my foods carefully...when I eat, what and how much...and Coeliac...and have to be strict with both regimes...

When I am busy at work...I nibble...used to be fruit..(just love the stuff...and eat my way through a fruit shop...)

I find I nibble when engrossed in what I am doing....so have been experimenting with some slivered almonds instead.
Seemed to work too...about an ounce in total...certainly no more.

Other diabetics in room at work..consume enough sweets/crisps/biscuits that it would take me a year to eat...thats their choice.....

Work has now gone nut free....none allowed on the premises...thats fine..so the almonds are off limits (so are Snickers and cereal bars with nuts etc)....so I am looking for a suitable alternative.....and it has been suggested...honestly and openly and from who I thought was a sensible person......that I have....beetroot.

As a nibble?? Its a no no....as it is usually in malt vinegar....so not allowed from Coeliac viewpoint.
Beetroot?? I really dont think so.....
Am I being over sensitive?? Just had to laugh....

Someone suggested in another thread parmesan 'biscuits' - maybe they can show up here and tell you how those are made - did not sound all bad.

Or maybe diced veg? Cucumber, carrot, green pepper fruits?

Why nut free ? Is the firm making food for nut-allergic folk?

I would starve if nuts were banned.

grind up some flax seeds and mix with ground Parmesan. spread "blobs" onto Rice paper and bake until cheese melts. Allow o dry. eat WITH the ricepaper OR bake on oiled foil and peal off.
