I'm confident that the quantity I'm going to scoff is not going to do me any harm. I'm also not going to repeat the experiment.
You never know, it might even disprove the fact that white bread is considered 'bad' (but I suspect not!)

Will be interested to see this one works out Andy. I've had some confusingly contrary results from both low and high GI foods recently.

Right! Time for the Warburton's crusty white test.
Diabetes : Type 2 - Diet/Exercise Only
Time : 10:00am

Carbs : 32.5g
Before : 4.4 mmol/L
1 hr : 6.8 mmol/L
2 hr :
Not as high as could be expected. Perhaps I'm on the way down already? Might need 30min checks in future? (checks test strip supply)!

Interesting! Might have missed the peak? I'm going to have to test at 3hrs too, I think.

p.s. I think this goes to show that white bread is a definite no no for me!

Interesting readings Andy, did you have plain white bread or did you have it buttered or as part of a sandwich?
It was straight plain bread. Mmmmm tasty (not).
I was going to test at 1.5 hrs, but the sodding phone rang. I'm now going to test once more at 3hrs and see where I am before having lunch and going for a nice recuperative walk.

Still not bad Andy and I expected a bigger rise, but just the same stick with wholemeal seeded bread as its better for you.

Sigh! On the way down now. I haven't tested that high since 28th June, 2hrs after an evening meal.
Granted that it was only a single test and I don't know where the peak was, but it was clearly a much poorer result than the burgen or my seeded granary. Nice to see conventional thinking validated once in a while!

Andy,
I found some rye bread in the shops and it stated on the packet that it was wholegrain with sunflower seeds. 34 carbs per 100 grams.
I had a slice with a poached egg for breakfast one hour ago and I've just tested.
Before breakfast fasting b/g was 6.8
1 hour after breakfast b/g was 7.3
Will let you know what it is after 2 hrs.
If it's okay, at last, some bread to soak up my beloved poached eggs!

Multiseed breads such as Burgen have the lowest gi value and less inclined to cause spikes as they are broken down more slowly than tradition white and wholemeal breads.
Its all relative, as they say 🙂
For me 8.2 is high. In comparison, I am normally in the 5's and 6's 2hrs after a meal.
For someone else who maybe doesn't produce quite so much insulin or whose insulin resistance is higher, that number will be much higher for them.
So, yes, it is relative and such readings should always be put in context.
Andy 🙂
