Hi Dave!

19 Jun 25 10:49, Dave Drum -> Stas Mishchenkov:

 DD>>       Title: Chicken Burrito Skillet

 SM>> Are you sure this is a suitable recipe for diabetics, especially type
 SM>> 1, when they need to calculate insulin dose?

 DD>  Hey, someone does actually read this echo. I'm not just shouting down
 DD>  a well.

Yes. But I would like more related to diabetes.

 DD> I must have "fat fingered" that one. It was supposed to go into
 DD> "Cooking" as part of my daily 10 recipe posts.  

Something going wrong. ;)

 DD>>       2 tb Olive oil; divided

 SM>> As far as I know, olive oil should not be used for frying.

 DD> Why not?

It oxidizes too easily when heated and releases harmful free radicals. This
can contribute to a variety of diseases, including dementia, cancer, and
cardiovascular disease.

 DD> I see it specified from time to time. For myslef I use lard,
 DD> suet, shortening, butter, schmaltz or a nice neutral flavour oil like
 DD> peanut of canola to cook with.

For frying, I use sunflower oil in small quantities. The exception is eggs.
They turn out delicious in butter. It is important to use very little, because
the fat is harmful to the pancreas, which is already damaged by diabetes.

 DD>>       1 c  Uncooked long grain rice

 SM>> Rice is tricky for diabetics. It can be difficult to calculate the
 SM>> insulin dose for it, or rather, there are often errors in the
 SM>> calculation.

 DD> I'm a Type II diabetic so have no experience along those lines.

Meanwhile, with type II diabetes, it is also important to know exactly how
many carbohydrates you have eaten. In the case of boiled rice, it is very easy
to make a mistake.

 DD> Right now I am being controlled by diet and exercise. But, I still
 DD> monitor my sugar. Last time my docs took me off the meds I found that
 DD> my fasting sugars inched up and up and up. Been three months now and
 DD> I'm holding to 90 - 105 for fasting (early morning) sticks.

May be worth excluding "fast" carbohydrates from the menu, such as bananas,
white bread, pasta, sweet drinks and sugar. May be necessary to reduce your
daily carbohydrate intake and avoid fatty foods, such as pork. Diabetes of any
type requires careful counting of everything you eat.

 DD> This ain't burritos - but it is chciken:

1.5 kilograms of potatoes, finely chopped. 200 grams of mushrooms, finely
chopped. 1 carrot, finely chopped. 800 grams of meatballs or finely chopped
chicken breast.. Mix. One whole onion. Place in a multicooker [ like this
https://multicooker.com/uk/catalog/multicookers/smart-multi-cook
r-redmond-skyc ooker-m92s/ ] and fill with water to the top. Turn on for 45
minutes at 100 degrees Celsius. When ready, throw away the onion.

Have nice nights.
       Stas Mishchenkov.
