Dr van Tulleken said: “Too many of us are getting the wrong type of carbs leading to type 2 diabetes. There are three types of carbohydrates – starch, sugar and fibre. "There is lots of starch in potatoes, pasta and bread and lots of sugar in fizzy drinks, sweets and processed foods. Scientists have discovered starchy carbs in pasta, rice and potatoes can be better for us by cooking then cooling. If the change takes place fairly quickly it means you can eat a lot of carbs without any problems.
