Well, according to Katzenellenbogen, a dietician and nutritionist based in Johannesburg, there’s nothing wrong with a diabetic indulging in the odd cheat meal – as long as you follow a balanced diet.

Recipe Of The Week: Waffles
There is little to beat a whole‑food waffle, served with Farmhouse Ice‑cream and honey. Alternatively, you may serve waffles with a variety of healthy toppings.
