Anyone who can tell me if a recipe is ok for a diabetic? [More:]Planning to make this for dinner for a diabetic - will it be ok for him?
Looks fine. You might want to cut the salt content a bit by using Bragg's Amino or light soy instead of the soy sauce.

I thought it would be good practice for me to check out the carbs (I'm type 2) as I could really use the practice. I'm a carb counter so I can adjust my insulin accordingly.

I used an on-line carb counter here. There are better ones available (such as GoMeals for iPhone/Android) but this one seems to have brand names and that, for me, is always a plus.

I only measured the following ingredients, without adding beverage, desert, or rousing dinner conversation. Grams are approximate.

3/4 cup quinoa - 156.17 g
1 small carrot - 4.4g (based on 1 cup regular sized sliced x 1/2)
1 medium red bell pepper - 4.89g
2 teaspoons grated ginger - 2.54g
1 tablespoon soy sauce - 0.97g (made from soy (tamari)

Comes to 168.97g for the whole meal
divided by umber of people eating
-----------------------------------
2 people - 84.48g each person
3 people - 56.32g each person

Have A Wonderful Dinner!

Oops, looks like the recipe has the carb count down below. "30g carbs per serving." The recipe makes 4.

Looks like I got 42.24 per serving. Need more practice, I suppose.
