Rice & Lentils Recipe provided for you by InformationAboutDiabetes.comThis Rice & Lentils recipe is part of our collection of diabetic Rice recipes. As we don`t know your exact diabetic conditions & the advice your health advisors have provided, we really can`t say for sure that this Rice & Lentils recipe is acceptable for you. All the same, as the recipe author marked it as `diabetic` it should suggest that it at least matches the minimum precondition for the label `diabetic`, being low in carbs & fat, and should be more healthy than a typical non-diabetic recipe. However, this Rice & Lentils recipe must only be used if you understand your own condition and are happy that the contents of the recipe are safe for you.
