she really enjoyed it on the way out but not as good on the way back.

Good idea - I have always found that they are not very good - especially out of America. I have been given orange juice and dried fruit! All full of sugar!! Better to have a regular meal and eat what you can!

I think you've made the right decision switching to 'ordinary' meals. In my experience, the diabetic meals never had sufficient carbohydrate value in them and, because of that, I used to always have to ask for extra bread - not exactly what you want your meal to mainly consist of :nonono:.

Another vote for the right decision, far better to either take your own stuff or have a 'normal' meal.

I was told that Virgin get 'guidance' from Diabetes UK who advocate 5 portions of fruit a day, but either way the carbohydrate value is pants.

I think Virgin have got their wires crossed with their diabetic meals - the fruit isn't great for type 2s but is for type 1s, but the limited carbs is OK for type 2s but not for type 1s. :confused2 :confused2
