thanks. i hate sprouts and i love asparagus with

hollandaise (i noticed that was not included). i got

a recipe from either this list, or another, for

spinach with something (garlic??) sauteed in. my

store didn't have spinach, and i've not found the time

yet to go shopping to purchase lots of good stuff

(guess i wanted to make sure i needed it all).

i discovered i love diet Dr. Pepper, and gonna try the

Hansen's stuff later.

another question: stuff like eggplant parmesan

(prepared). is that OK in moderation?

last nite i had steak and salad (with creamy

dressing); tonite i'll probably fix a pork chop.

what about carrots? i need to read up now, but just

struggling today to grope. pat

What a nat site. What does carbohydrate -by difference mean. I see 1 carrot

is like 6 grams? and a large mushroom is .9 grams.

Carrots are a root veggie and thus higher carb. Have you checked out the

USDA online site? Gives all the data for many, many foods...URL is

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl

Easy to use. Check it out yourself, Pat. Also, carrots are sorta high GI

index too...check out Rick Mendosa's site (link on our URL). You want loewr

glycemic index foods. Generally all root veggies are higher carb and higher

GI than the other kind...i.e. spinach, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower,

cabbage, sauerkraut, etc.

i have to tell you folks that i told a nurse today (at

the nursing home) about MY list, and the advice.

she's diabetic, and has been dealing with this stuff

for years, and she wants all the sites and information

i've found here. i was telling her about another

meter (the one for the forearm) and telling her i was

off to get the accucheck (forgot the name; i have the

information downstairs), and i'm forwarding her stuff.

funny. she was my support system on dealing with all

this, and now i'm helping her. pat

Nah, don't cry, Pat, this is a CONTEST! Between you and your body...and

you're going to win! Yes, test right before you eat...then test an hour and

two hours. write down everything you eat...there you go! (smile) Vicki
