Found myself a "new snack"

[67Dart273]

I love Blueberries, amoungst other fruits and berries when I can get them, and IF I can eat them. Recently, I've been officially declared "borderline diabetic." I knew this was coming, I could FEEL it. I was hypoglycemic since maybe 25, so I don't feel too bad staving this off here at 68 going on 69. ANYway, they are trying to change my diet, IE get ME to

The PROBLEM with berries is that the stores SUCK. Most of the time they are expensive, and not that great quality. Plus if you get a "flat" with some bad ones, and you don't notice, this of course "shorts" the storage time. "I've taken some back."

ANYway, I was in the store the other day, and her's a guy buying FROZEN, so I thought I'd give some of that a try. TURNS OUT................I DON'T EVEN NEED TO THAW THEM!!!

When I want a snack, I just pour a handful into a paper towel, and roll them around in my mouth until they thaw. THIS IS GREAT!!! These are just like little popsickles!!!!

We do it here. Granbaby likes it too. Blueberries or the mixed fruit.

Havent eaten frozen fruit straight up. Too cold. But good for homemade milkshakes! Grandbabies like the fresh fruit at room temp. If they are outta the fridge they dont like them as much, too cold.
Keep on top of the blood sugar Del, its a tough go!

my dear wife is also borderline....... we have found that glass of dry ish red wine at evening seems to help, why not sure. she likes grapes as a snack. also you might look into planting your own blueberry plants.if adapted to your area, they will grow fast and produce well..
h er doc had her weight way down. she was never overweight but he got her looking like " a gutted snowbird".. she since put on 5-6 pounds with no affect on her sugar.

Last time I came up with a new snack we were at a restaurant
I ordered a BLT, and asked them to add a slice of cheese...and a 1/3 pound beef patty

It was very tasty
