Just been reading 100 things i wish i would have known about living with diabetes. Strongly recommend this book from Diabetes UK.

Has a lot of useful tips e.g.refrigerating pasta after cooking then reheating to lessen the carb spike.

.refrigerating pasta after cooking then reheating to lessen the carb spike.

Ah. That old one. That's really a case of "Your diabetes may vary". I've found it makes no difference to me!

Yeah indeed they are all personal experiences but with 100 in there im sure some will apply to individuals

I might be in the minority but i might go as far as to say i prefer it cold. This does help portion control too so not all bad!

There was a BBC programme called Trust Me I'm a Doctor that looked at the subject of Resistant Starch and experimented with reheated pasta (and the postprandial results on bg levels), here is a link if you want to take a look:

Typical summer dish: a salad pasta could be quite tasty. I don't like reheated pasta very much due the fact I had always to eat baked-oven-pasta at the nun's canteen, and was made with the leftover pasta of the day before, that in theory shouldn't be bad but the sauce should be good...
On the other hand pasta reheated in the microwave could be reasonable.

Those little pasta salad pots are pretty nice I have to say..

Yeah i use the little pots to take to work handy because you cant overfill them either
