I have diabetes, which I control with Thai herbs. Rice is like sugar to my
condition! I love sashimi and enjoy a good temaki. Going to a sushiya is a
rare treat for me, damnit. I take some extra herbs before I go.

Mayo is essentially carb free. Sake (make mine a Junmai Daiginjo) lowers
your blood glucose.
