Meal ideas

No just plain cashews. I am still trying to adjust to actually eating regularly as I would skip meals. I've lost 3.2lbs now since 23rd Dec.

I love nuts including cashews but be aware cashews are on the higher carb level relatively speaking

No as I've also been told I do not need to check my blood sugar. I did ask the question when she rang me as I had to do it when I had gestational 9yrs ago.

Well, how can you adjust your diet to manage your blood glucose if you don't know what your blood glucose level is? When I was diagnosed I checked ever morning (and still do) as an approximate fasting level. I then checked before a meal and two hours after a meal. I now have a pretty good handle on what ingredients do to my levels so only check before and two hours after a meal if I'm cooking with something new. Like you I was told by my Doctor not to bother checking.....

Definitely raising this on 21st.
