Please refer to my earlier post: http://saveforus-healthforus.blogspot.in/2009/09/food-choices-to-control-diabetes.html
Often people have asked me what do I use for grain, in place of rice. I use Barley.
Why:
1. Because its glycemic index (how soon sugar goes to blood and how soon it goes out of blood making you hungry) is low. 20 - 30 just half of white rice.
2. Because its glycemic load (how much total sugar) for a serving of 150 gm is 11 just 1/3rd of rice for same 150 gm.
3. Because it is conveniently cooked exactly like rice. We use rice cooker, but with little more water.
After Barley is cooked, leaving the boiling water (rather than draining it), results in Barley soaking the water and getting plump and easier to chew and eat.
The awareness is building up and it is available in Amazon: http://amzn.in/csMTBxw
You have already experimented with Medicines. How about experimenting with food too.
