After the phonecall on Friday, T phoned me with the news that he has been diagnosed as being diabetic, and with the advice that he was given in the interim before seeing a medical professional for a face-to-face appointment).
On Thursday, I had pre-empted the phonecall and got T some wholemeal bread and sugar free squash and fizzy drinks as well as some Sweetex. I got him a low fat chicken salad sandwich, fruit salad and fruit juice for lunch, and we had something for dinner that was so boring I can't even remember what it was!On Friday evening, I got him a box of Oatibix because they were the only oat-based cereal I could get hold of at the time* so Saturday morning's breakfast was sorted.
On Saturday, we went out for the day - a tour around a historical town in Essex for the birthday of a good friend of ours. We brought some nuts as a snack, and ate as healthily as possible (which meant sandwiches made with wholemeal bread and filled with tuna and salad). T opted for steak and kidney pie in the evening - I'm not sure how good for him that was, but he seemed to enjoy it after hours of walking!
On Sunday we went shopping and replaced such things as our soy sauce (with low salt sauce, which also had lower sugar), baked beans, ketchup, Kelloggs Fruit & Fibre, and noodles, pasta, tortillas, and pitta bread (all replaced with wholemeal). We also brought half a trolleyfull of vegetables - and we intend to use them because we wrote a List, and The List Must Be Obeyed.
*I had read that oats are a good thing to eat (and so far T has yet to be persuaded of the benefits of porridge).
