Carol,
I have a friend who is diabetic and can eat pre-made pizza and pastas
without issue, but she is very careful with portion sizes and her insulin
dosing.
For pizza, I would look at all the ingredients in the pizza. Many pizza and
pasta sauces add sugar to reduce tomato acidity. Also, portion size plays a
big part. A large piece of pan pizza will have a different carb count than
a thin n crispy crust pizza.
For pasta, start weighing the pasta before cooking, weigh after and
calculate how much to serve. Most pastas have a 2 oz (dry) serving size,
which is quite generous.
With carb counting: Net carbs is usually the carb count minus the fiber.
Eating high fiber foods and counting net carbs, can work for some people but
not all.
good Luck,
Carrie

Subject: [Healthy_Recipes_ For_Diabetic_ Friends] wanted info on carbs
ok, my husband is diabetic and i am not getting this. he ate pizza and his
reading was over 300. i looked online about low carb pizza and found a low
carb baking mix. this one said it was 90 percent less carbs than like
bisquick but when i compared the difference the one was 16 the other 26.
that is not 90 percent.
can someone explain about net carbs. i just know to look at the sugar and
the carbs and i really do not understand what amount or what a net carb is.
feeling totally unaware but he is 100 percent italian and these pastas and
pizza really are killing his levels. cannot do them but would like to find a
healthier alternative. his health is number one importance. thanks so much.
