Per slice it's around 12g carb when your average loaf is nearly double that. But it's also very high in fibre which slows the carbs down. I've found this kinder to by BG than any other bread.

You must be thinking of doorstep slices there Mark! 'Normal' bread is usually around 15-17g carb. Aldi wholemeal, which I have is 17g CHO per slice.

And I been eating thin hovis wholemeal slices at 11g, must admit tho, the burgen loaf looks thicker ..if I can eat thicker bread it's gonna help

Yes, Burgen is a still a wheat flour bread that also contains some soya flour and linseed that means it's lower carb compared to normal wholemeal bread for those looking for that. It is nice on the occasions I've had it but pricey though compared to the 43p per loaf I pay.

Oo no , the smaller Burgen loaf is only 9.1g as opposed to 11g on the very thin Hovis wholemeal .. so I'm wrong gram for gram Burgen wins..

A recent seeded loaf my wife bought from Aldi was 23g carb per slice. They were quite large slices though, but you still need two to make a sandwich. A normal square loaf is usually around 15-18g carb per slice.

As Mark Parrott mentioned up the top, the higher fibre content can really help by slowing down the carb absorption. I used to eat the Hovis Lower Carb bread until my local Tesco stopped selling it It was good stuff. Now I tend to go with Hovis Wholemeal Granary as it doesn't do my BG levels any real damage.

Quick peice of advice totally off topic, I see you guys mostly have info about your diagnosis date, diabetes type, meds etc etc..i take it you don't have to type all that every time , so how do you attach the info to your posts..?.

Take a look in the user control panel (eg click your username in the blue bar at the top of the screen on phone). You can then add details as your ‘signature’.

You could make 1/2 a sandwich and fill it up with 4 Sausages, 6rashers of bacon, 3 eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms....be careful though, if it topples it could kill a pet or small child
