[QUOTE="Star*, post: 525524, member: 4964"] This is probably going to sound REALLY really silly D3 - and I'll explain. (no really silly from YOU?) yes ....! When I lost weight I was asked to speak at a diabetic luncheon and was really touched. I learned so much that day - and had I not gone I would not have learned how to do a number of things. ONE of which was read the RDA on a lable, what the % things meant, and how to adjust and understand exactly what each of those things mean on the side of a package. It sounds like no big deal. I just look at a package and go - HUH - one serving is 110 calories, 8 grams of sugar - YUP. And NOPE. Some of those things I was putting in the cart thinking YUP _ were full of salt. And some of them had so many other "HIDDEN" ingredients in them that I had NO idea what they were - if I didn't know or learn how to read a lable and recognize it - my leg (I have problems with one leg swelling up) would be basketball sized. So I watch my salt intake, but I have to know what the lables mean. My suggestion is find a place that is offering a free seminar or health talk about diets for diabetics or check with your local hospital and ask them if they ever have a registered dietitian that does speak or you can speak too that can help you get NORMAL food. I get cookbooks all the time and the stuff in there for diabetics is like - WHAT? I don't have the money for - OH now I've never heard of that - and what's the salt content? It's helped me balance the pre-diabetec and the water gain pretty well. Maybe it will help you and hubby. [/QUOTE]
