Have type 2 here, not suppose to have bread, pasta, taters, stuff that diabetics are not allowed to eat, also suppose to be on a low potassium diet. More things not to eat, what is a person like me suppose to do? :hmmmm:

Have a look at books on the glycemic index and you should find that you can eat complex carbohydrates such as brown bread, baked potato with a cheese topping and so on. I find I can eat pasta made from 'brown' flour.

What you are after is foods with a low to medium glycemic index. Low if you are not exercising and medium if you are.
