The way I understand it is that 1cup of cooked brown rice has 15% carbs. You're right. The only difference is that in 1 cup of brown rice, you get 3.5 gm of fiber (which you can also deduct from the total amount of carbs). Compared to other types of rice, brown rice still is, the "lesser evil."

She gave me a copy of the print when I was diagnosed with diabetes. I kept that in my file. I'll make sure to ask for a copy every time from now on. They'll serve as another incentive to keep aiming for targets!

I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know. The doc sent me to an independent lab (Dynacare). That lab apparently sent my results to the doc's office the next day. Should I ask for a print out from the doc's secretary, or from the lab?
