Every recipe in Diabetic Living

enjoy a healthy, balanced diet
Our food
Serves 2 (as a main)
We show you whether
a food is designed to
be a between-meals
snack, breakfast, lunch
(a lighter main) or
dinner (the main meal
of the day). When we
say, “as an occasional
dish”, it should only be
eaten as a treat, such
as once a fortnight.Brand names
We sometimes use
product names so it’s
easy for you to find
nutritionally suitable
brands when shopping.Optional ingredients
Whenever we list an
ingredient as optional,
it isn’t included in the
nutrition analysis and
it’s up to you if you
want to use it.Sugar or sugar
substitute
In some dishes, you
can use either sugar
or a sugar substitute.
In these cases, we
give you the nutrition
analysis for both.Choice of
ingredients
When we give you
the choice of two
different ingredients,
we analyse only
the first one.Carb exchanges
Using exchanges
makes counting
your carbs easier:
one exchange =
15g of carbs. Aim
for 1-2 exchanges
in every snack and
1-4 exchanges in
each meal. ■YOUR DAILY ALLOWANCE GUIDE
