[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 666260, member: 55568"] They are not a problem for most people. There are many different types of sugars and many groupings, monosacchardies, disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. The oligosaccharides in lentils and chickpeas include a type called galactose which is part of the cellular structure of the plant. It's a little like having ground up straw from wheat mixed in with the white flour. Lentils and beans are high in this sort of fibre. It is the bean equivalent of a grass 'wholegrain', except not being a grain, you can't call them wholegrain lentils. As always though, every human is different and cooking techniques, boiling time, soaking time etc alter the characteristics so, test to be sure. But they are nearly always ok for type 2 diabetics. Chole is one of my favourites. It is just a spicy chickpea and tomato dish and as most asian stores sell a dozen tins of chickpeas for £2.99, it is a highly nutritious yet very cheap dish to make.
