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.

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 havent tried it re-heated as i can imagine its like cardboard. I dont mind it cold though! #dontshootthemessenger :)
 
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!
 
Interesting read i always hypo after cooked pasta so im going to have to try these out!

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