I'd suggest using some sort of low-carb pasta; there are good ones on

the market now. Or, do what I did and invest in a pasta machine and

make your own low-carb pastas.

carbs

we can do. I will leave it up to your discretion. Hugs, Marilyn

diabetics have to monitor how many total carbs we intake at any time and

have limits per meal and snack otherwise blood sugar can

skyrocket out of control. A nutritional plan, exercise regimen and possibly

medication help control our blood sugar. The nutritional plan

we put together with our diabetic dieticians show what we can eat and in what

amounts, when we need to eat, what we cannot or should not

eat, etc...
