I don't mean in terms of what you actually eat, more how you eat. When I was diagnosed I was told to snack all day: Breakfast - snack - lunch - snack - dinner - snack. But I really didn't eat that much before I was diagnosed and it can be hard work to eat all day! My dietician said I shouldn't HAVE to snack if I don't want to, so long as my sugar levels are fine. I can get from one meal to the next ...

Can I have a drink in the 2 hours and still a positive result or do I have to align my drinks like my food for testing. I've never really got a proper answer before, so hope someone can guide me forward on this one.

Cook the gammon or chicken in a pan (with oil), until it's browned (and partially cooked through if it's chicken), add 300ml approx of cider or low carb beer and reduce until thickened up (about 20 mins) on simmering heat. Cook vegetables at this point. About 5 mins before serving, add double cream to taste and maybe a little pepper - no salt if you're using gammon.
