Keep in mind that once you start adding other foods, the entire GI changes.
I can't eat any rice except in really small amounts, mixed in other foods.
I love barley and have found that I can eat some in soup. But when I tried
a delicious barley casserole with pine nuts and mushrooms in it, my BG was
too high at two hours after eating. I did have the carb count for the total
dish and made sure not to eat any more carbs than I normally do. So this
didn't work for me.
