[QUOTE="becca59, post: 1853607, member: 264425"] After diagnosis I always ate brown rice and pasta and limited potatoes. After much poo pooing and derision thought I would give cauliflower rice and courgetti spaghetti a go. I fell in love with both. I know it sounds bonkers but they are now a preference. Today’s lunch was baked haddock, courgetti spaghetti and cauliflower rice all mixed up. With some broccoli and peas. Yum! Made mash for hubby and grandson. Finished with stewed apples fresh from the tree with homemade custard minus any form of sweetener. Just a sprinkle of cinnamon. I always finish with a handful of nuts and a piece of 90% dark chocolate. I totalled it up as 40 carbs. With the 10 I had for brekkie and the fact I will likely not eat again before tomorrow not a bad day. I also make my own whole meal bread. I absolutely do not eat commercial bread, in any shape or form. They put all sorts in it. I find I need a lot less insulin for my own bread. However, I used to make a loaf a week and freeze it ready sliced. I have now cut back to once every 3 weeks. They do say pre cooking pasta and then reheating, lowers the effect on sugar levels. And I do believe wholewheat versions to be better. Not because they don’t turn into sugar eventually, but the word is eventually. The rise is a lot slower. All this said, as a type 1 we do not have to give up all carbs. Just moderate them to aid us in our day to day management. [/QUOTE]
