Reducing carbs in pasta

I've heard this before not something Im intending to try myself.

I have tried shirataki noodles - made from the fibre of sea vegetables, you have to be careful to cook them with hot rather than boiling water, otherwise they just dissolve, but if done right they do give a passing imitation of a pasta dish. They don't impact my blood sugar at all.

I remember watching that TMIAAD show of Mosely's, it seemed like it would work but have never tried it to find out.

I miss a good feed of pasta.

I am not sure, I vaguely remember someone suggesting those before to me.

I cannot recall if we had a look for them or not in our stores though. Worth having a look to see if we have a similar product here in Australia.

Ahaa, it was @Mr_Pot that suggested it to mebefore in this thread here,

http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/low-carb-pasta.120206/

I have the penne quite often, a 50g dry weight makes a good portion. They are not as good as wheat pasta but much better than no pasta. I boil them for about 11 mins, which is longer than it says on the packet, to get the right texture.

Morrisons in the UK you can buy edamame and lentil pasta spaghetti. I have bought some and am going to try it

It is very low in carbs and sugars..This is by per 100 gram so we would not need that much only 30 grams so the carb and sugars will be even lower

Sorry for posting so much,but you get the idea lol

Here is another even lower in carbs and sugar..Same supermarket in the UK Morrisons

Remember that just testing before a meal and 2hr after is not enough, as it could be that the heated carb is just taking longer to get into the blood. Even normal pasta can be level at 2hr but raised BG the next day.
