I think quinoa is actually a seed. I bought some last year and both times
that I tried it, my BG went crazy afterward and I threw it out. I just
bought another box and I'm going to give it another try, in case my body was
just going through a weird phase last time. I'm type 1 and handle carbs
well, but some things are almost impossible for me to get right. Corn bread
is another food that is a mystery. Any other kind of bread or muffins I can
do, but cornbread (homemade, even) messes with me. I have no problems with
actual corn.
