Too much on my plate

I never really paid attention to portion sizes until I was diagnosed with diabetes. I now know them all, and have a handy printout in case I forget or need to look up an unfamiliar carb or protein.

My husband had an appointment with a diabetic dietician today at the diabetic clinic. At first, he was very pessimistic about the appointment - he was expecting what he has always gotten from dieticians and/or nutritionists: the outright denial that a high-fibre diet would pretty much take him out of real, regular life forever.
