Test after eating some basmati rice and if your bg levels are not coming down to pre meal levels after 2 hours reduce the amount with the next meal and keep doing so until your levels are stable. I find I can easily eat a heaped tablespoonful of basmati rice plus small amounts of potato but I am unable to enjoy the chapati's, parathas I used to eat. Test before eating and two hours after if your bg levels are returning to close to normal at this time you should be OK , if however they are still much higher then reduce the carbs when you eat that meal again. Chana dal is high in carbohydrate but strangely does little if anything to most peoples bg levels, again test and find your own limits.</blockquote>
