Hi Vince ~ no need to deprive yourself of baked beans ~ just cut the portion size. Do you have the book CARB & CALORIE COUNTER? Amazon £10.99 or pocket version £6.99. It has over 1700 coloured photos and the carbs ~ calories ~ protein ~ fat ~ saturated fat ~ and fibre values are clearly displayed in colour-coded circles below each photo. Well worth buying IMO to give peace of mind when carb counting.I have passion for baked beans, been eating them almost daily for most of my life. I am now getting withdrawal symptoms haha. Anyone any thoughts on eating baked beans as a T2 ?
Carbs 26g seem ok for 1/2 a tin but the sugar comes in at 10g.
I would hate to be deprived totally of my baked beans.
Thanks Wirralass, will give it a try
Quite a lot of folk here have purchased the larger version and all say it has helped them tremendously and wouldn't be without the book now including myself. Also at the rear off the book there is a section that helps you choose what to eat when dining out. It means you can plan what to eat beforehand ~ that is if you know the menu's of the restaurant you're visiting!
That's a perfect rise IMO. So not disastrous at all. Good management What portion size did you have?
1/2 a tin or so ( approx 4 tablespoons full ) lol Wirrallass. God I was craving for baked beans. I have eaten them most days of my 67 Years, man and boy usually a tin full each time. I had them with a chicken breast I coated in some spicy chinese coating, diced and cooked them in the Actifry I have here. I LOVE IT....If you're saying your pre meal bgl was 4.9 ~ and your 2hr post meal was 5.5 ~ then you have absolutely nothing to worry about Vince.
Go On ... be a Devil lol
I'm sorry Vince but that made me LOL so much!
Wonder if I dare try a steak and kidney pie sometime lol.. My other weakness. If I am talking Heaven though it is 2 steak pies and a tin of baked beans.lol Told you I was a Philistine.I'm sorry Vince but that made me LOL so much!
No-one more than I have cravings ~ no that's a porky ~ most of us have cravings some time or another but my cravings are for tiramisu, bliss🙄 Apple turnovers 🙄 chocolate brioche swirls, heaven 🙄 and sausage rolls🙄 (pastry 😱) but I have to say in all honesty that these are treated as treats now & then ~ a chocolate eclaire hardly spikes me 🙂 two does the same!!😛
Carry on eating your half tin of baked beans and enjoy!
I'm still laughingView attachment 4938
Oh pleeeze dont teeeeze!
Steak pie ~ sherry trifle to die for 🙄~ haven't had the pleasùre of putting either of them near my lips since Gawd knows when!!! Now the beef casserole, you should be able to get away with a small portion without it affecting your bgls as long as you dont eat the spuds! One, maybe two baby new spuds should be ok but as said before ~ test pre meal and again 2hrs post meal to see If it's had any impact on your bgls. Oh and make sure you dont run out of test strips with you testing a lot.
Yes test strips, I wasted 4 on my second test but I am a Learner Driver. Sure I will improve.lolOh pleeeze dont teeeeze!
A little tip ~ cast aside the pastry (Photo attached) ~ unless you want to experiment ~ but I think your levels will rise more than the baked beans did ~ it's a chance you take and sometimes we need to do this ~ we have to learn what we can tolerate ~ and we learn by our mistakes. A rise to 8mmls post meal is acceptable.
