Hi Dinah,
Sorry to enter this discussion so late... I'm sorry to hear about your diabetes dx, I hope some of the things people have suggested will help you out.Yes, grapes are so easy to munch on, they're healthy (if you wash 'em), granola bars, nuts (in small amounts), bananas, etc. Whatever is quick and easy to reach for. Although I find cooking to be very therapeutic at times (when I'm not working), the preparation - slicing, dicing, chopping - sometimes is too much for me to deal with... A lot of the time, I just want to be able to grab something and have it *right then*. When I shop, I get the pre-sliced fruit container the grocery makes for the produce department; it has sliced strawberries, washed blueberries (purportedly the world's most nutritious fruit), blackberries, and red raspberries. It's kinda pricey, but I'm willing to pay it because then I don't have to spend the time cleaning and slicing and ultimately throwing away a lot of my fresh fruit because I'm too lazy to stand there and do it myself... I can just grab it from the fridge and eat it right out of the container... piggy, I know, but my daughter and I share the same germ-pool. Also, check out the pre-cored pineapple if your grocery has it, it's much better than canned, and it comes in slices or chunks. Very yummy. And again, no fuss, no muss.
best wishes, and hoping your frustration level is lower by now,
Wendy
