Is sourdough a good option for bread? This food all sounds delicious and right up my street

 

[Jo121]

D: gammon, fried egg, cabbage, mangetout, half roll, mixed berries and cream

Which ryvita are ok? I'm desperate for some cheese and crackers but thought they were all out. Thanks

 

[Jo121]

I suppose that many people are only having things which they know are safe for them and may not be testing before and after every meal.
Also the levels they see may depend on how good their control is, whether they take any meds and the amount of exercise they do.

My blood on the meals above never went above 6.5 2 hours after a meal. I'm on 3 metformin a day. Do the gym 3 times a week and walk 12k steps at the least every day

I get any of the normal ones or the thins (which are often in kit form), they mostly are less than 7g carb per slice.

Inka is T1- hence a more standard diet.

i find the real breads like sourdough better for my blood sugar and a lot tastier. I’m Type 1 so I take insulin. You’d have to try it yourself to see if it worked for you. I’d try a small portion and see if it works for your blood sugar.

Apparently it can be better for Type 2s:

Worth a try I’d say.

There are also rye breads and sprouted breads that are more blood sugar friendly.

For things like toast my blood sugar goes up less if I pair with protein or fat, like leadlinglights egg and cheese.

so far today I’ve had
Breakfast: Melon
Lunch: steak, mushrooms cooked in cream cheese and garlic, half a wrap plain.

Not sure what’s for dinner, forgotten to defrost anything from the freezer and had a filling lunch so I’ll see what I can think of later on.

How yesterday actually turned out:

Breakfast: Melon
Lunch: steak, mushrooms cooked in cream cheese and garlic, half a wrap plain.
Afternoon walk (4 miles stroll from home to beach watching boat racing etc)
Struck halfway by a hypo that took well over an hour to get up: 200ml apple juice, galaxy chocolate bar (seemed to have got up but dropped again), energy gel, too many haribo, an ice cream
Dinner: a few oven chips and other half of the wrap (i was totally wiped out)

Ah well try again today
