Good point, thanks very much. Have removed the recipe you're
referring to. I should have said that the group is merely a platform
for exchanging recipe ideas, photos, videos and discussion, and no
recipe tagged "diabetic friendly" should necessarily mean that a
nutritionist or physician has declared it to be so, merely that
someone has added the recipe for consideration in the group Simply a
set of ideas and a place to share photos/videos/recipe ideas and
discussion. (There is optional desktop software that will calculate
nutrition facts for all the recipes, but that's another story, and I
don't want to do any marketing of it on this board.)

Perhaps you could enforce running of your nutritional software against
any specialist-group recipes, so the participants themselves could
decide whether or not it meets their needs.

I didn't used to put the nutrition info in my recipes but started
doing so a couple of years ago. As time is available (and the mood
strikes me) I'm going back through the older ones and adding the
nutrition info.

We should remember that any nutrition analysis is based on estimates.
But I agree that it's helpful to have it available in recipes that
have special diet suggestions.

Hi Pete.

Nice to hear from you.

One of the difficult things for guys like me with that
particular recipe was the use of potato flakes.

I haven't bought any form of potato processed product since
I was diagnosed. We do buy, and eat in moderation, fresh
potatoes but I would not recommend that a type 2 keep
processed potato products in the larder at all.

Why not? I keep them here. Gluten free ones of course. I don't use them
often, but they do make a nice thickener for soups and some sauces.
