    Last night supper was my homemade pasta sauce that I used tomatoes from our garden..
    Yes, I made a pasta (spaghettini) to go with it.. I know it isn't low carb, but I did it anyway..
    We ate and fully enjoyed it.. No more as I used the last container of sauce from the freezer I made..
    Pot of tea was really appreciated...

    Marie.... Unless your ice-cream is sugar free, it isn't good for your diabetes..
    Some of the other foods are not the best either,..
    I am NOT a doctor, but logic will tell me that something should be done with your food plan........
    As you probably noticed, I also have a slight problem as well where i would like to gain a few pounds, but not fast.. I eat almost everything in moderation.. Since mt stomach surgery, my stomach is a bit smaller which means smaller meals and more often..
    Perhaps it would be an idea for you as well to consume smaller amounts of food a bit more often during the day..
    Have you consulted a specialist about your problem.. I am sure there is someone that could guide you the proper way to overcome your problem..
    My wife is diabetic and she controls it with a low carb food plan.. She used to be on insulin a few times a day, but now doesn't need it anymore.. She takes Ozempic once a week for her blood sugar..

    Thanks for the nice caring advice. And I am not sure at my age I will ever gain it back on my body, but rather my stomach. I am eating more now and lots of tuna patties with extra eggs in the mix for protein to try gain muscle. I prefer salmon but it doesn't smell or taste the same, so I use tuna now in its place.
    Yvonne has some good recipes I want to try soon as I feel like putting them together too.

    I've been eating lots of blueberries and Strawberrys in " whole milk " yogurt. They say the berrys help lower glucose and it has lowered mine. I buy them on sale when possible, freeze in small glass containers. I rinse them in vinegar to kill off whatever bacteria they may have , rinse good and freeze.

    I am running a bit low on minced chicken burgers that I make and freeze...
    There is a special this week on minced turkey.. Only $2.00 for 450g...
    I will be stocking up on that and making my turkey burgers to go on the BBQ..
    I have a burger press thing to make the burgers and freeze..

    Fish........... We have fish at least 3 times a week... I buy a variety of frozen fish and usually pan fry them in butter after lightly breading them.. I sprinkle some lemon juice or lime juice on them before turning over..
    We like our vegetables steamed rather than boiled.. Usually 2 vegetables and often 3 veggies..
    We like a dessert after a meal.. Fruit is often what we take, sometimes S/F jello if I make some..
    A pot of tea after supper helps digest the meal and we like to talk during the drinking of our tea..
    No TV, ..... we just talk and enjoy our company..
