Larry, Given the way you've been describing your meals, I have a suggestion. You can take it or leave it - up to you. Our county senior group offers diabetes education classes about 4 times per year. I usually go about every three years for a brush up on what I think I know. The classes are free and are once a week for 6-8 weeks. Is there something like that in your area? You might find it helpful.
@A DiabetesTeam Member if you like beans try testing then eat 1 serving of beans, test 2 hours after to see how the beans only affect your sugars. You may be able to eat a small portion of beans with other low carb foods.
The sauce in canned beans can often be loaded with sugar. Always check the ingredients on the can to see the sugar and carbohydrate content.
Excellent advice here. Leg I'm going to see what Kindle books has in the way of microwave cooking. Thanks everyone.
@Leg Never thought of that
Thanks Leg
