Diabetes UK: Swap and save - breakfast

So we should eat the same healthy balanced diet that is recommended for non-diabetics  still the same low fat low sugar no mention of carbs. Is it any wonder those diabetics following DUK guidelines are doomed to a fast track progression to ever increasing and costly medications.

Hi Graham! Thinner sliced bread,low fat spread and a smaller portion of cereal is all that's needed eh?? That's the sort of advice that would get a standing ovation from our old friend Sid! Just need to buy one of those meters that cannot read higher than 4.6 mmol and we're all good to go!

Too right Paul it's right up Sid's street, mind you the presenter of the video is hardly a role model for the benefits of the crap she's promoting is she

Oh,silly me,I thought it was the Lasagna sheets that were made from Durum wheat that was bad on our BG's! Praise the lard that DUK have steered me straight

"SIMPLE SWITCHES: LASAGNE

lasagne
Think having diabetes means lasagne is off the menu? Think again! Try these simple changes to create a delicious, healthy lasagne that everyone can enjoy.

The béchamel sauce is what gives lasagne its lovely creamy texture. It can also be a big source of calories – but it doesn't have to be. Cut down on the amount of fat you use in the béchamel sauce, or use a reduced-fat margarine instead of butter. Swap whole milk for skimmed or semi-skimmed milk.
When preparing the mince for the lasagne, opt for lean meat and find ways to reduce the amount of fat you use for cooking – by using an oil spray or a non-stick pan, for example. Draining off any excess fat from the cooked mince in the pan also helps.
When topping your lasagne with cheese, go for a stronger cheese and use less of it or choose a reduced-fat variety instead. Serve with salad, or extra vegetables.
Add vegetables, such as carrots, mushrooms and spinach, to top up the fibre and help you get your five a day. If you're vegetarian, try replacing the meat with other sources of protein, such as lentils or meat substitutes.
Avoid adding salt and use a reduced-salt stock, and add extra flavour to your dish by using garlic and herbs such as oregano, rosemary and thyme. This way, you'll cut down on the salt in the lasagne, without skimping on flavour."

I'd say omfg but that's swearing and blasphemy. I'd say lmfao but that's swearing and her advice is not funny at all. In fact tragic.
And people will actually follow that advice thinking they are doing well.
