Interesting.

Last night I had two small fillets of fish lightly battered
in a crisp beer batter, deep fried in peanut oil.

For veges I had (tempura style) battered broccoli, battered
onion rings, deep-fried home-made potato chips - most for
her but a few for me. And some steamed silver-beet (swiss
chard).

One-hour post-meal 5.8.

The secret is in the thickness of the batter and the portion
sizes...

Two nights before you would have seen a man eating shark.
The shark wasn't in batter, but coated with paprika and
chopped herbs before being pan-fried in olive oil. Sides
were steamed broccoli, asparagus and cabbage with mashed
pumpkin and a small dollop of mashed potato.

Use your imagination, mate.

I never ate as well before I was diagnosed.

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

If you like sweet potato, this is what my daughter does:

She cuts the sweet potato like chips, lays them on a baking tray, sprinkles
them with olive oil and salt and bakes them in the oven. Obviously don't
overdo the serving size. You can then have your fish plus lots of "free"
veggies and salad.
Pick from things like: spinach, cabbage, cucumber, lettuce, broccoli,
cauliflower, asparagus, capsicums, celery, radish, green beans zuchini...
etc.
