PhilG - I asked my diabetic nurse about brown pasta/rice etc etc. She says there is not a great deal of difference. I tried reading labels in Morrisons this morning but had trouble trying to get close, Got rammed by incompetent trolley drivers of a certain kind while their other half was hovering in front of where I as trying to get. Gave up, did my shop and came home. I will at some point when it's quiet have a good look, I would love to indulge in a plate of pasta myself but I've promised myself to avoid carbs for a few weeks. Enjoy the weekend.
