While researching I found another blog with an interesting pizza recipe. Might be worth a try.

I want it all the time and hav...Hi, I do not agree. I want it all the time and have a way that tastes as good as regular with no big blood sugar spikes. I use a blend of resistant wheat starch which is basically a fiber, White Flour, Vital Wheat gluten, Inulin Fiber and Wheat Dextrin. It has about 25 carbs with 15 grams of fiber per slice but the taste is near identical , probably impossible to distinguish. The inulin is a probiotic fiber that does not give you the trots or flatulence and actually enhances taste naturally. Make sure you use an inulin powder that is not sweet(I use NOW brand). Wheat Dextrin is a fiber used in many frozen pizzas and batters as it keeps it crisp and is somewhat of a moisture barrier helping to prevent soggy crust. Basically just mix 1/3 part flour to 1/3 part resistant wheat starch and 1/3 the rest of ingredients divided equally. Per every 3 cups of this mix add some salt package of yeast a tsp of molasses 1 tsp sea salt, 1 tsp cider vinegar and some active yeast and water, do not make a wet dough but a kind of a drier dough, start with 3/4 cup of filtered water and add till forms a ball, it may take up to 1-1/2 cups depending on environmental conditions and brand of ingredients. Mix and knead as you would a normal dough. Let rise for hour till doubled. Punch down, let rest and roll into a thin but not too thin crust. I am diabetic but my A1c is super low at 5.4, at least here in USA that is low. I got this idea from a friend of mine who works at Dreamfields pasta Co. which makes a pasta that has about 50 carbs but only 5 or 6 carbs are actually digested and has little effect on blood sugar. If you don't think this is true then just try the pasta...it tastes the same as regular pasta, not detectable as a low carb version like all the others, they have a patent on the formula. As good as the best Italian pasta like Barilla or Dececco.<br /><br /> I make a basic but very good pizza sauce ,with Tomato paste water, tiny bit of splenda, some dried basil oregano, garlic powder.black pepper, salt, bit of Parmesan cheese and olive oil, Mix together heat it up and then let cool. I top it with some Italian pepperoni, mushrooms, thin sliced onion, Green bell Pepper diced and Italian sausage. Don't make sauce too watery as you want a crisp crust. Make sure if you use canned mushrooms to squeeze them dry. The addition of the meats and cheese add protein and fat which both slow the sugar somewhat. Try it I think you'll eat pizza a lot more. I eat 3 slices and have no spikes in glucose. You can buy most ingredients on Netrition.com good luck Billy D from RI USADivashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319121048103689340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14381962.post-92100490769285050782012-01-27T23:48:27.674+01:002012-01-27T23:48:27.674+01:00I feel you.

Since then I've lost 13 pounds and have been really regimented in my new lifestyle diet. But today? Yeah, I had to have pizza. Real pizza. And I did. Two slices of lovely, greasy pepperoni. And I just checked my bloods, and yep, 194. Nasty. A couple shots of whiskey will pull that down tho. Thanks for the article.

I went with my daughter to "Take Your Parents to the Doctor Day Free Blood Pressure and Diabetes Screening" and........surprise!!!! I'm keeping up with the exercise and meds, but like the author, I have a list of things that I love. Beer, an occasional cigar, buffalo wings etc.etc. I've been too scared to try any of those things since the diagnosis, but I can't see myself going to the grave without watching a Steeler game on a Sunday afternoon with one of my guilty pleasures. I won't let my love of certain foods kill me before my time, but I do see a day when I will want to try something that isn't kosher for diabetics. Like the author I just wish I knew how much long term damage an occasional order of buffalo wings or a quality Dominican cigar will do to me.Dprothohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16606352287842392826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14381962.post-36683297606439083202009-05-01T17:50:00.000+02:002009-05-01T17:50:00.000+02:00Awesome suggestion about the wine!

He emigrated to Wisconsin early 20th century. I was born in Brazil.<BR/>It's been a month since I was diagnosed with diabetes. I am still getting used to the glucometer and food labels. <BR/>Reading your article simply encouraged me to move on. You are so brave. Thanks for sharing the recipes. I will try to be a good boy for 29 days so I can get my real pizza on the day 30.Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07448053854020291087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14381962.post-1135225308822085922005-12-22T05:21:00.000+01:002005-12-22T05:21:00.000+01:00Hi!

We all negotiate our way through diabetes and figure out how we can manage our diets and still treat ourselves occasionally.<BR/>You're right, pizza has always been one of the worst things to eat -- and because the glycemic index of a pizza isn't obvious, we take it for granted. Anything made with potatoes is another totally off the charts food (crisps, chips, fries, baked et al)!<BR/>Great blogging! Please keep in touch with me as you are one of my few European comrades!Elizabeth Snoufferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295729929548305840noreply@blogger.com
