| | | Carb Calculation For those of you who have had Dreamfields pasta, how did you calculate the carbs ? Did you base it on 5 gm's per serving? |

| | | What stores can you buy it in? Know I can probably go online, but if it is found in a regular store, would rather walk in and buy it. I live in KY, but will be going to Atlanta area in a couple of weeks. |

| | | Bought 6 boxes of elbow from amazon, and got some alfredo sauce for it... Yum. Very good for my BGLs. Still experimenting with it. But so far, so good. |

| | | I've gotten mine from Amazon.com, and made sure to keep the order over $25 in order to get my shipping waived. I've seen Dreamfields at a couple supermarkets, but I can't remember which. They're in a black box, so keep an eye out for it. |

| | | Have you guys ever heard of "Homemade Pizza" Co.? This place just opened up near my area and they have whole wheat crust pizza. Would that whole wheat work with us being diabetic? This place, you called in whatever topping you want and you go and pick it up and bring it home to put it in your oven. I'm sooo tempted to get the pizza but was wondering whole wheat is good? with just tomatoes and maybe fresh mozz cheese on it if I'm allow without the sauce? I'm new at this.

| | | I just tried Dreamfields this week, just heard of it actually. Worked great, had over a cup of it, with little spike at all.
Both of the big chain stores near me have it, Kroger and Meijer. Different locations have different styles. I have sen spag., elbow, and one more (dont remember which)
Also, had some Texmati brown rice. 1/3 cup is 15g, as opposed to 1/4. Little spike at all, had 1/2 cup with homemade chop suey. mmmmm... expensive rice tho!

| | Oh man, I can totally tell the difference. When I go to my parents house for dinner they like to use it. I think it's pretty gross in comparison to the real deal, but thats just my opinion. No one else can tell the difference?  / |

| | While pizza is mentioned, I ate 3 slices (oops) last night and my 2 hour test was very good! BUT this morning, my first reading was higher than it has been in a while. Wondering if the pizza took revenge and if so ..... could this new pasta be doing the same to any of you? I sure hope not because I miss my pasta!!!
