Warburtons Wholemeal...interesting!

[Pine Marten]

Well, that was an interesting experiment - Mr Marten had some slices of a Warburtons Wholemeal loaf left over, and as each slice was 9 carbs I thought I'd test it. They are smallish slices similar to Nimble and not seedy.

I had two toasted slices with some tomatoes & mushrooms quickly stir fried in olive oil and large coffee (a usual breakfast). Result: before breakfast = 5.7; 1 hour after = 7.3; 2 hours after = 4.9!

So Warburtons bread is going back on the shopping list 🙂

Very interesting, I used to eat that bread. It'll be worth testing as I'm really missing toast.

 

[HOBIE]

Will give it a try 🙂

I know I'm different to you as I have insulin to help out but I find my tea reading is usually lower than my before dinner and that's after 2 slices of 50/50 bread and whatever I have in it usually chicken mayo or egg mayo haha x

It's weird how readings differ - I often find my lowest reading is around 7pm before our evening meal. It's sometimes lower around 4pm too. If only it would stay that way...🙄

i've started using that bread rather than nimble for my morning toast (one piece just to take my metformin) I find it's shelf life is longer than nimble and does make a nicer piece of toast. It doesn't spike me either

I use this bread too x I love toast xx

I love this bread but it spikes my bgs something terrible their white danish bread doesn't oddly enough, but I generally eat bergen bread now.

Trust you to be the odd one that white should in theory spike more but you don't haha 🙂 x

I'm using hovis wheatgerm at the moment the slices are nice and dinky so no bother flitting in my toaster
