Good morning my beautiful friends, I hope that you are all exceptionally well!
Please, could you remind me the DAFNE rules regarding pasta, rice and pulses/legumes because I cannot remember.
Do we weight them cooked or uncooked in order to estimate our Novorapid?
I asked a couple of type 1 friends with whom we attended the DAFNE course together but, I am getting mixed information… One said to weight pasta and rice cooked but pulses/legumes uncooked. The other said to weight everything dry as after cooking they contain lot of water which will add to the weight and will put my Novorapid too high.
Regarding packages, some give the carbohydrate content basis dry product whereas other packages give the carbohydrate content basis 100 grams of cooked product. (But, finding the carbs content, cooked or dry isn't a problem for me as I have the carbs&cals app or can google it... my problem is which of the two should I consider...)
So, what do I do?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Josephine
