I would always be careful to check the carb content of their recipes. I read one in Balance today that had 92g carbs per portion which I very rarely even come close to in a meal. The best approach is to try recipes that conform to a carb content (both in weight and type) that experience has shown you you can tolerate well. It would be great if people could then review the recipe and let us know whether it was good or not-so-good for them 🙂 Perhaps we should pick one that has general appeal and then do a 'food experiment' like the ones we used to do with bev - testing on the hour to see how they affect people 🙂
I've got a feeling that I got my onion, garlic, tomato and prawn combo from there .... but I need to double-check. Yep, it was the tomato and prawn stew. But I tend to reduce the amount of liquid first before adding the prawns. So it is not so stewy. I also tend to add red chilli peppers and spice it up a bit.
I normally serve with a few new potatoes and a variety of veg.
But as Northerner suggests, they don't always seem to be overly carb-concious! But I think that recipe is fine.
Andy 🙂

Stack of low carb and scrummy recipes - well a whole downloadable book actually on www.diabetes-support.org.uk and if there's nowt you fancy in the book (which I would find incredible anyway!) there's an absolute stack more on the Forum there.
Not trying to poach members whatsoever, no pressure to join or anything - it's just that there's a public resource there that many more folk could be using and it seems people don't know about it - which is daft. The Admin there are more than happy for links to stuff that's there being posted on this forum, so let's do it. Almost all the recipes have been invented - or adapted for low carb - by members who are 'ordinary diabetics' like the rest of us. Oh and photographed by them too. Some of their crockery is a lot better than mine!
