Free ist

[WendyB61]

Hi has anyone seen the free ist cookies from sainsburys? They are sugar free and have 5.1 carbs per biscuit, does anyone eat them and are they ok for diabetics does anyone know?

They have sweeteners so I’d avoid them - for the taste as much as anything else. You’d be better off having a normal biscuit with low-Ish carbs eg a Rich Tea is 5.9g carbs.

Two biscuits would be more than my breakfast meal, so I don't feel any urge to try them.

May I ask what you have for your breakfast meals? I can’t seem to get mine under 24g carbs

Typically leftover meat from the previous night's dinner, then a stir fry - if I am feeling lazy I use the frozen ones from Lidl, there are three variants and I buy the two lowest, one of which is Oriental but I forget the other. Otherwise I ransack the fridge for mushrooms, a couple of sticks of celery, sweet pepper, courgette, tomato etc and chop and weigh out the right amount - I have a notebook of percentage carbs for various foods.

A couple of suggestions for you 15g carb ish.
If I have toast it would be a thin slice about 25g so about 12g carb with either scrambled egg and smoked salmon, eggs, bacon and mushrooms or tomato or boiled eggs so probably another 5g carb.
Or berries 5g ish carb, with full Fat Greek yoghurt 5g carb and a scattering All Bran or Granola (low sugar) 5g carb.

I don't really understand your question, but Gliclazide, works by stimulating the pancreas to produce Insulin. In my experience the effect was not predicable, and I felt it took me about a week to notice the difference.
