I keep trying quinoa as a substitute for brown rice since I have heard how healthy it is. Well, when I actually compared the nutrients yesterday I was puzzled to find the carb content is nearly the same as the brown rice 27g-32g. It does have a couple more grams of protein and fiber though-5g compared to 2 and3g. Did I mention that I actually prefer the brown rice?

I had blood work done and my AC 1 came back low, 5.6, which surprised me. But the thing I am worried about is the cholesterol meds. I haven't started them cause my cholesterol isn't that high. Just a lil bit. Has anyone taken crestor or is on crestor and have had any major effects from it. I am only being put on 5 MG's. But kind of concerned cause I am on four different meds right now. Two for my diabetes and two for my asthma.

I am a type 2 diabetic diagnosed in 2009. My last A1C was 7.1. Of Course, I would like to lower those numbers and I plan to start an excercise regimen in the next few days
However, I also have a bit of a sweet tooth and I have questions that may help me
1. Is it ok to "cheat" by occassionally eating deserts that are lower glycemic. With total carbs under 20 Grams?
2. Can someone recommend a recipe book or website I can use?
3. Am I alone with this? Do other diabetics indulge in these typesโฆ read more
