Heath...when we are testing the real benefit is you/we can try different foods...then test to see how it affects us...I need to have some bread in my diet...for me that is essential...if you can manage without it...excellent...however you could try the bread...experiment a little...some of us here find it works well for us...my local supermarket doesn't sell it...I drive to the next town...its in their co-op...I buy a couple to shove in the freezer.
 
@Bubbsie I don't trust the likes of they sites, looked at them before with a product label in my other hand, completely different information on the websites, not safe for people using insulin to use such sites to try and get information for what they are eating, could end up very dangerous indeed xx

Going to have to try and find it love seeded bread

If you try it...test before...then two hours after...that will tell you whether its suitable for you...if you have a spike above 2-3mmols...then it's not right for you...however other breads may be more suitable...its about experimenting...what suits me may not suit you...and vice versa.

Daughter likes olives she just eats em out of jar that dirty git like smoked salmon though but dont like alcohol and I'm having steak tonight but what could I replace potatoes with to many carbs for me

Some people replace potato with sweet potato, you can do most things with them that you would do with an ordinary potato. It has a lower GI than an ordinary potato, maybe one of the others can add to this? I have replaced potato with celeriac or mashed cauliflower. Beware of celeriac though, it is a pig to prepare, need muscles like Popeye !!
 
Will definitely give it a go bubsie my readings during day are quite good about 6.6/7.5 but always about 9.2 on fasting but miss my seeded bread bread so will definitely go on the prowl for some cheers
 
sweet potatoes may be a lower GI BUT 100g has more carbs than 100g regular potato, many find they can manage a few new potatoes but its advisable to leave the skin on xx

I took to eating Ryvita for a while, replaced the white bread and packet of crisps I would have eaten pre diagnosis. Didn't want to go without the crunch 🙄

Do try it Heath...we can try many different foods...again the beauty of testing...it will give us an indication of how we tolerate different foods...I think you'll be surprised (pleasantly) at what we can eat and keep our BGs levels relatively stable...achieve good control.

Thanks @Kaylz, It was one of the things someone recommended when I first joined the site and bemoaned the fact I was missing potato. Hard to know what is best sometimes 🙂
