[QUOTE="Gezzabelle, post: 1539983, member: 180253"] Well I got the Carbzone Penne Pasta today and this is my verdict and results of how it affected my blood sugars. I cooked it as per the instructions and on that I will say cook it a bit longer as it has a tendency not to soften within the 9 minutes they say. Penne pasta is always firmer and more al dente than other kinds and this one, true to form was certainly that and had a very chewy texture which was different but not entirely unpleasant. I have to say that the sight of the pasta in the meal was somehow very satisfying....I have to admit that having any kind of meal like pasta Bolognese WITHOUT the pasta has never quite worked for me so it at least fills that hole and I will definitely have it again....possibly with said Bolgonese next time :) My meal consisted of the following 46g dry weight Carbzone Penne Pasta...( cooked in salted water for 20 mins) 75g sliced mushrooms 200g chicken breast small pot of single cream Large dollop of Philadelphia full fat Basil and black pepper All were cooked in butter and the pasta added for the last couple of minutes BG before the meal 5.1 BG after 2 hours 6.2 Conclusion being that the pasta has no effect whatsoever on BG in my case and it is certainly worthy of a try if you miss your pasta. I will be buying it again and look forward to my Bolognese pasta now, knowing that it won't have any bad effects on my BG :) [/QUOTE]
