Meeting with the Nutritionist

So today Rob had his appointment with the nutritionist - a really wonderful guy named Rhys Wyman out of Andover. He gave us tons of great information, and lots of great advice. We learned a great deal! For example, Rob should be eating about 40 grams of net carbs per meal, and snack should be about 15 net carbs. Rob was thrilled to learn that he can have fruit - we've been avoiding it as we weren't sure about the rold of natural sugars in diabetes management.
So far Rob has lost 20 pounds, and I've lost 28. We are both really thrilled.
Next up on the agenda - a Labor Day party at my aunt and uncles... and I found that Pillsbury has a reduced sugar line of mixes - so I'm going to do a dessert pizza with fresh fruit... and a Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle with Strawberries, both low sugar. Will post pics.
