Yes, beans are carbs but they are the good carbs. They are also protein and fiber, vital for diabetics.
1 pound dried pinto beans
1/4 pound salt pork*
1 teaspoon salt
1 onion, diced
14 1/2 ounces can whole tomatoes, chopped
3 tablespoons chili powder
Pick beans clean and wash. Place in a large pot (at least 4 quarts). Cover with water and soak overnight. Do not skip this step.
When ready to cook, drain beans and add fresh water to cover 1 inch above beans.
Add salt pork and salt. Boil for 30 minutes.
Add onions, tomatoes and chili powder and continue boiling for 2 to 3 hours or until the beans are tender.
Add additional water as needed.

*I usually use about 1/2 pound lean cubed ham as I believe it is a healthier option than the salt pork.
