I am a type 2 diabetic, and was fooled by another company claiming they had low carb pasta. I didn't find out until I was eating their product and my numbers (diabetic numbers calculating carbs and sugar) went through the roof! I was devistated. This pasta, takes a little getting used to. It is not slippery like regular pasta, it has texture, not a problem. I seem to have to cook it longer for "al dente" maybe 10-12 min. I test it to see it's doneness. I have used it to make alfredo, fresh pasta sauce, it really holds up. I love it!!! I am Italian, and life without pasta just has no meaning. Diabetics need products such as these to feel we are still part of the eating society. If you are trying to control Diabetes by diet and exercise, no meds, it is imperitive to have these wonderful products to choose from. People are so busy trying to get us down to lower our numbers, some of us just cannot achieve, they should be more interested in making products we can enjoy, not trying to get us to pop a pill to get "their" numbers!!! We all can't get to or maintain the number of the month. Everyone is different, we all can't be under the same numbers, people are going to get sicker
trying to do the right thing. But products as these, makes being a diabetic that much easier to deal with!!! Leona
