You didn't list ingredients numbers, so I tried it out in the dwidb
programme:

Cal 895
Protein 15.6
Fat 5.5
Carbs 192.6
Fiber 12.1

Deducting Fibre, net carbs are 180. For a 15 gm serve, you need to
divide into 12 serves. They'd look mighty small.

I tried it again for this one:

Cal 1494
Protein 32.3
Fat 71.4
Carbs 194.4
Fiber 17.3

Deducting Fibre, net carbs are 177.1. Again, for a 15 gm serve, you need
to divide into 12 slices. Very, very, thin slices.

I didn't bother with the others, they continue in the same trend.

Wonderful recipes for anyone reading who subscribes to the high-carb
methods of treating diabetes. Pointless recipes for my purposes.

Sure hope you don't feed this to most Type IIs.
Looks like a BG high.

At least I know to save my money by not buying any of those cookbooks.
I've also learned by reading labels to stay away from any food labeled
'diabetic' at the grocery store, it seems to mean 'more carbs than the
regular kind.'

There is a great stampede back to real foods with carbs. Any diabetic
can eat carbs without problems if you work to control it.
I eat rice two to three times per day without any problems at all and
so do most of the people I know.

Guess she isn't aware that low carb means lower BG yet.

Lucky you and those you know! Are you on insulin? I'm not and I can't
eat rice without my blood sugars soaring - even a small amount.

as do I however I had to admit if I eat TOO MUCH it will spike me.
for me a serving of that rice recipe would be 1/3 cup - 2/3 a cup.
however when I was first diagnosed I would need medications for even that
small amount.
2 years later my carb intake ability has increased and no need for any
medications as a result of proper diet and increasing my activity.
