Originally because it's 'fattening' but I've come to realise it makes me feel really ill. My heart pounds for ages afterwards. Also, I read Wheat Belly and it frightened me so much I didn't want to eat bread. It's wearing off a bit now though and I want to eat it again but shouldn't. Also it would probably spike me. Same with potatoes. 🙄 Plus I can't stop once I start, I could easily eat a small loaf all to myself and a few pounds of spuds. 😉

Really taking my diet seriously now. This being so, can anyone suggest the best type of bread roll to eat? Checked Sainsbury's gluten free genius multiseeded rolls and they have over 30g per roll, which seems a lot. Any suggestions?

It is also advised that you eat low glycemic foods where possible. Been having fruit salad every day, chopping up some fruits, but this leads to lots of sugar. Can anyone advise which fruits would be the best for this to keep the sugars reduced..?
 
Hi Lidia. Some people find they tolerate berries better. It's best to avoid certain fruits which originate from Hot regions. Grapes are little sugar bombs To be honest the only way to find out is by testing and checking the carbohydrates on the labels.
 
@Lydia1960 does it have to be a roll or would bread do? I only ask as others here swear by burgen bread, Tesco do a high protein loaf that is low in carbs and also Hovis have started doing lower carb bread available in wholemeal, seeded and white, as @Ljc says the only way to find out what works for you is to test, before and 2 hours after a food to see what effect it has had on you, as she also said people find berries ok so strawberries, raspberries, blackberries are all lower carb and lower sugar, I found it useful to begin with to go on supermarket websites and look at the nutrition listed on there, made shopping trips quicker for sure x
 
Yesterday:
B: Cream cheese & garlic flat mushrooms (X2)
L: Scotch egg & anti pasti (cheese, salami & sun dried tomatoes)
Snack: Aldi sea salt nut bar
D: Pork stir fry
Pud: Slice of low carb carrot cake (made myself)
 
Tea
B: 2 bacon, 1 egg, 1 sausage, beans, grilled tomato, 1 wholegrain toast, tea
L: none
T: Cooked dinner for friends, so charcuterie & olives to start, maple & mustard pulled pork with salad & seeded flat bread for main and cheese & biscuits (no biscuits for me) for dessert.
I do have to confess to drinking gin & tonic x 2, kir royale & 2, white wine x 1 & red wine x 1 😱
 
Did the Kir Royale spike you? Not had one since quick visit to DisneyParis ages ago. Felt very cosmopolitan having a one of them. 😉

Could have been a very iffy day as went visiting/babysitting. Talked my sister out of some birthday type cake because she wouldn't have stopped at one slice. Nephew was astounded when they all came back that we hadn't polished off the cake!

My other sister didn't measure before the car journey and I was very nervous. She did inject insulin before the journey home which is good as I believe she's not been bothering with that either! She also takes Glicwotsit and Metformin. I didn't realise you could take more than one kind of D med!

Watched Dr Now bariatric surgery documentary this morning and the lady was diabetic and took her bg-152. What's that in English?
