    I've read that the more you cook the pasta the lower the GI (breaks apart the bonds or something)... as well as adding lemon to it (or adding lemon to anything). I'm not sure how much it lowers the GI and since pasta is so high to begin with... might not be significant enough.

    @mmarshall74. I read your profile. You MAY NOT be a true DM2. Your insulin resistance may be due to your obesity. Keep chipping away at your weight with diet and exercise. Your BS should improve as you get closer to your goal weight.

    I hope you're right. I see my dr again in January with the hope of being taken off metformin and losartan. Fingers crossed.
