I'm Diabetic. Can I Still Enjoy Pasta?

Q: Is there a way for someone with Type 1 Diabetes to enjoy pasta without overloading on carbs?

A: Pasta made from protein-rich grains like quinoa and kamut have a lower ratio of carbohydrate compared with pasta made from wheat (like semolina pasta). They also have lower Glycemic Index scores, meaning the carbohydrates are released more slowly into the bloodstream, regulating blood sugar levels. These are excellent options for someone with Diabetes, Type 1 or 2.
