Does anyone know what the carb value of sour dough bread is. I got some from the Polish deli near us yesterday and assumed it was 50g CHO per 100g the same as the wholemeal loaf I have.

I had some yesterday and ended up at 30.3 and today I have ended up at 25. I can't think what else could be causing this, I am on a new insulin cartridge and I weighed the bread. I must have got it way off.
 
I have to say I often choose sourdough over other breads. It should be slightly lower GI. Like you I assume the carb content of all breads is around 50%. If nothing else is causing the problem, all you can only that there is something in that particular bread causing the spike.
