I make that myself sometimes.  With cannellini beans and some tomatoes.  And a good spoonful of oregano.

oooh, thats sounds good!! though I never had cannellini beans before but seen them when picking up the mixed beans.
I might try it with some tomato puree and oregano next time.

No sugar of any sort. Xylitol, 100 gr in the batter.

I forgot, I wanted to ask you something since it relates to food and diabetes. I'm assuming you might get an attack of it now and again, since you seem to follow a very strict and healthy diet, but if there are any times you suffer from hypoglycemia, how do you sort yours out?
I often keep a bottle of lucozade or another energy drink stored away, but usually when an attack comes on I just want to eat anything fast, so I do myself a sweet tea and have a couple biscuits.

I am diabetic too.  There are two events, low sugar and high sugar.  My sugar goes high, many people suffer a drop.  If you suffer a drop, you need a quick sugar hit, though regular small doses of slow to digest carbs is best.  That and eat salads and meat a lot.  This method works for both kinds (except when it doesn't).

Type 2 ... developed late, as usual.  Sorry for you too.  Did you ever see the dramatized movie about the Canadian doctor who developed insulin?

I have diabetes type 2.
Never had any attacks, all I do is refrain from sugar, just using sugar substitutes.
Reducing carbohydrates, but not much.
One Glucophage 500 mg after every evening meal, that's it.

I knew another Type 1 victim on-line, who was allergic to animal insulin.  She had to obtain a special version from GB.

In my case, careful reduction of sugar and carbohydrates, and 1000mg Metformin twice a day.

Its quite bizarre to think, its only been in the last century that insulin has been discovered and in production. If I was born any other time in history I'd have been dead at age 2

Same every day?  To me that is like cooking a big batch of anything and storing portions in containers, which is good.  But I want variety.

[pr126]

Not the same every day.
I freeze the containers and have one of those once a week.
Sheesh.
