Research into diabetes diet

[Andy HB]

If I was a good type 2, I'd go for C.

Options A and B, I would like but I don't react to well to pasta.

Option D would be OK, but probably with just one fishcake (depending on size and carb content). I would also avoid additional potatoes (maybe allow one small new potato).

Option E is good, except I would severely limit the rice portion.

Andy - wanna share a small naan instead of rice?

Hi
I am Emily, a GCSE Food student and I have been researching diabetes and how the diet can affect the condition. I am interested in knowing the choices diabetics would make from the following options as part of my coursework and would be grateful to anyone who can take time to respond. Thank you so much.

a Spinach and ricotta lasagne with tomato sauce and Mozzarella
b Spinach and ricotta Ravioli in a tomato sauce with garlic bread
c Chicken pepper and mushroom skewers
d Fish cakes and boiled vegetables
e Chicken and vegetable curry and rice

As a skinny Type 2 meaning I am not on a weight reduction diet I would choose any of these except b which has 2 portions of carbohydrate. Choice d would be my optimal choice although it would be better with roasted veg.
Choice c lacks veg so would need something else with it such as a big salad.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your studies!
Nick
