there are lower carb breads available but I couldn't tell you if their good or not as I haven't tried it, if it was a choice I had to make though I'd probably just give bread up though xx
 
When I was first diagnosed after a blood test the GP told me to eat lots of fruit and vegetables but not melon or mango .that was it !! I was also told that I would get an appointment with the diabetic clinic . 3 months later I rang to find out when my appointment would be ! Fortunately I found a couple of good forums and .educated myself to low carb high fat , I don't eat melon or mango 😉

Oh melon, I used to eat heaps of watermelon, galia, cantaloupe etc, melons aren't too bad actually, well at least the 3 I mentioned all have less than 10g per 100g product xx

Thank you to all of you that have replied as I said this is an ongoing education for not just myself but many others so any advice of what to avoid is appreciated as a lot of the professional help is not given when diagnosed .
Ignorance on my part is not an excuse but just means there is still a lot to learn like anything in life there is room to improve.

Don't worry, Billy Bob, the learning part is a very long and ongoing one and I for one still feel like a novice at times! The best advice is to try different foods, test their effects with your meter and find out which ones suit *you*, which may not be the same as anyone else.

Please ask whatever questions you like, and we'll do our best to help. All the best to you 🙂
