Alison, love the dumpling saga! Tonight I’m headed out for some Hunan food … the usual chili yak, garlic yak, and sauteed mystery vegetables. All delicious. No clue on the carbs. Those handy dandy aps for my iPhone for carb counting don’t seem to include the category “mystery”, so guessing it is.
Must admit I’ve shied away from the Chinese doctors apart from some awesome acupuncture for aches and pains. (When they hook up the electrodes to the pins in you, feels like a primer for electric shock therapy or a funky way of cooking you from the inside-out.) I make my annual pilgrimage to my endo back in Canada when I am home and cart all of my supplies back to China with me. With 1.3 billion people in this country, chances are there are a few other type 1’s around … would be interesting to see how the medical community approaches things here. Will investigate.
