I am back on the hunt for a good non wheat pasta...pasta is one of the things I miss most since being diagnosed as T2...yesterday I found the best alternative spaghetti I have tried so far...so a huge plate of spaghetti & home made Bolognese sauce was my lunch...for me it was just as good as the 'real thing'

At 12.9 carbs per 100gms my 25gm portion worked out at just under 4gms of crabs and 83.25 calories (333 calories per 100gms)..I have tried other non wheat pastas however for texture & taste this is the best so far...bought this on Amazon it may be available elsewhere too.
The ingredients are listed as organic soya beans water & salt...I have tried others but these have the best texture appearance & taste so far...recommended cooking time is 4-6 minutes I cooked them for a little longer to swell the strands...no odd smell and with the sauce I could convince myself I was eating some good pasta.I bought "Amaizin" soya bean noodles, also from Amazon. It states 37.7 grams carbs per 100 grams, so yours looks to be a better option. The ones I have are made purely from Soya, do yours have anything else in them? The texture of these ones is a bit hard, even when cooked and then finished off in the sauce and not really very appetising. I did have some Edamame noodles, bought from a health food shop in Inverness last time we were there. Texture was not great, taste was a bit bitter and I haven't seen them since anyway, but the lack of BG spike was amazing to me.
I buy this one in Tesco, slightly higher carb (13.1g/100g) than the one you’ve tried, but very nice. I use it to make carbonara, it’s very filling so only need to have a small portion.I am back on the hunt for a good non wheat pasta...pasta is one of the things I miss most since being diagnosed as T2...yesterday I found the best alternative spaghetti I have tried so far...so a huge plate of spaghetti & home made Bolognese sauce was my lunch...for me it was just as good as the 'real thing'

Just chillin
Well after the really dreadful weather yesterday we actually got through today with no rain which was good as it was annual pilgrimage to Clarks day for new school shoes, trainers and black plimsols. No 1 is highly delighted to be a "Big" size 1. Today was also school haircut day as they go back next Wednesday. More thunderstorms forecast tomorrow but I am going with SIL and both grandsons to Dinosaur Zoo at the Fringe. Been before when No 1 was about 3 but he can't remember it. Must admit that you tend to forget the Dinosaurs are operated by people. At least it's a break from the ceiling collapse. SIL/BIL now back in Australia too. @DJC3 - I agree. BGs do just take a strop sometimes. Thankfully mine seem to be stabilising again. Impressed by the zip wire though. Bed 5.9 FBG 7 (slept a bit later today).
B. TAG with ADOC and 1/2 a boiled egg to stop the DP rise.
L. Nothing
D. After the shoe pilgrimage we went to M&S and amongst other things I got 4 each of the salami, chorizo and ham crisps - great carb content @Goonergal. Odd that they were in the deli section. So had a pack of the serrano ham crisps and a repeat of yesterday's meal - lamb chops with mint, GF sausage and a salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, 1/2 avocado and helmans.
Coffee and a Grenade double chocolate biscuit.
Fingers crossed that the asbestos report comes tomorrow as I'm fed up being banned from my bedroom.
http://www.underbellyedinburgh.co.uk/whats-on/erths-dinosaur-zooGood luck with the asbestos report @maglil55 and well done for getting school shoes sorted. I used to hate that day and have managed to avoid it with grandchildren so far.
The Dinosaur zoo sounds brilliant, I shall look it up and maybe bring the girls up for a treat next year. Oldest is particularly keen on dinosaurs ( all children seem to go through that phase don’t they?) we spent yesterday afternoon making origami ones - not quite as impressive as a whole zoo.
To keep on track - the Serrano ham crisps from M&S were definitely my favourite.
Glad your BGs have stabilised now.
