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....
