hi lovelies!!
was wondering if anyone in BB regularly cooks up diabeties friendly dinners?
ive had a look online and lots appeal to me, but they wont appeal to DF and i really dont want to be cooking 2 seperate meals.
So does anyone have any ideas?
TIA

Try the Taste website they have a lowGI and diabetic friendly sections! There are still heaps of yummy tempting things you can make - your DH will be better off too!! Also just swapping white rice for basmati, wholemealwholegrain for white with pasta/bread you may be amazed what you can still eat. Also lots of vege/greens with your meal help lower BSL's as does regular walking/exercise. Have you seen a dietician? May be useful to help with some starting points.
havent seen a dietician yet, have to make a booking.
im actualy on the taste website atm! they have tonnes of receipies!!! will find something in there that willmake him happy..i hope!
he's not too adventurous
I had gestational diabetes and whilst it was a temporary thing (so far anyway as I now have a higher risk of type 2 also) it really did not take long to get in the swing of things. You will quickly work out what works best for you, I found a food diary along with the BSL's made it pretty clear what I could eat! We focussed (as DH had to come for the ride...) on trying to get mostly fresh ingredients and watching my portions, so balancing the protein, carbs etc. Sounds way fancier than it was tho! Also I got really organised with healthy snacks during the day. To be honest I felt amazing in comparison to how I had been feeling. I struggled most with breaky - all the cereals were way to sugary for me, so ended up with porridge and that way great. I also found that adding cinnamon was sposed to be good for regulating BSL's so often added it too porridge, yoghurt etc. It took me ages to get my head around it all too - so well done for getting organised and researching!
thanks heaps Mak!!
it is a bit daunting atm, but we'll get there!
im so over being tired all the time and cant wait to have some energy back, thought i was feeling this way because of the kids! and you'd think with all this sugar running around my system i'd be pumped up and ready to go!
i had undiagnosed GD with DD2 and its stuck around, so glad ive changed doctors
I have Type 2 as well. The taste website has some great recipes. Also the Diabetes Australia- Victoria website has some recipes there too. It also has a great reference for reading food labels to help meet your needs.
Just wanted to say that my dietician was a great help too.
