Will it make a difference if I take 15 minutes to eat a slice of white toast?

[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1670965, member: 459333"] I really didn't like fingerprick readings at first. Something about always associating the sight of my own blood with food. But you get used to it. And it opens up a whole new world of *critical* info about food and personal safety. Eating without one is like crossing a road without looking. I sort of agree with the advice that if you crave a certain 'bad' food like toast, then total avoidance might be better, as having some will only increase the cravings. However, you are your own master. I second the suggestion of Lidl High Protein rolls. They are not the same as normal bread, but if you add stuff to them they are pretty good. One 'trick' you might try has actually been researched and gets good results for some people. If you have e.g. scrambled egg (something with lots of protein / fat) and toast, try eating all the scrambled egg first, then the toast. Compare blood sugar results with when you eat it all together. You may find the carbs-last approach works for you. [/QUOTE]
