Advent Calendar 2012!

[Northerner]

We start our traditional Advent Calendar with some delicious low GI, sugar-free, low-calorie jam! Could jam be less sinful?

 

[Dizzydi]

Mmm mmm I'm a bit addicted to weight watchers raspberry jam, indulged first time back in may after my stint in hospital !

Yummy I'm having the first dip please !

 

[Monica]

Shame it's Strawberry Jam though😛

 

[Dizzydi]

Not bothered by the flavour! Any will do x

Hold on Gail, we haven't opened all the doors yet! Who knows what diabetic delights lurk behind them?!!

 

[AnnW]

I am keen on the diabetic marmalade too , not the same make, but really good 🙂

 

[PhilT]

I'm allergic to strawberries but give me some raspberry jam and that would be fine.

 

[Northerner]

Day 2 - OK, for the non-strawberry lovers, how about some apricot? One assumes that jam can't actually be diabetic (although, since it doesn't have a pancreas, maybe it can?):

Gosh, making jam using your hands. You'd thinK you'd burn them in the process of the rolling boil, wouldn't you?

I use the (bottom part of) the pressure cooker .......

Haha! The same thought did cross my mind! 😱 Perhaps the jam maker applies such an enormous pressure to the apricots that they boil at room temperature? 😉

A profound question - especially before lunch 😉

 

[trophywench]

Actually it's my fave, apricot.

Esp on toasted broche if you have the wherewithal to consume (where's 'strikethrough'?) combat such things!

Sorry, those of you that don't ......

 

[Monica]

Thank you Alan, Apricot is much better 😉

Day 3 - How about some Gourmet Diabetic tea to go with your diabetic jam?

By the way, I am not endorsing any of these 'diabetic' products, it's just a bit of fun showing how companies around the world seek to exploit people with our condition (or more likely, those who have friends or relatives with diabetes and think this is all we can consume without collapsing into a coma). Much better to have the 'real thing' and not pay the premiums attached to these things that are more likely to send you running to the bathroom! 🙂

 

[trophywench]

Shame it only controls the diabetes and not your blood sugar, so don't think I'll get any meself .....

 

[gail2]

diabetic tea now i have heard everything Think i will give it a miss

 

[Northerner]

Day 4 - Don't fancy Gourmet's Diabetic Tea? Then how about some Diabetic Juice?

 

[bennyg70]

[Northerner]

Awww, the juice that cares

I wonder how many diabetics they have to squeeze per carton? 😱
