I've never heard of any. They probably don't make low carb bread, since bread is a very good source of carbs.

Bread is a carb however you could try alternatives such a rye bread which is high in fibre and will leave you feeling fuller for longer.
you could also try cracker breads such as riveta and things like that
i have tried the sukrin. ridiculously easy to prepare although it needs about 80 mins in the oven. very dense and seedy. it tasted pretty **** good probably because i have not had any bread for over 3 months. didn't get very crispy in my toaster oven though. i found it difficult to slice that small dense loaf into 14 pieces. probably get around 8-10 good size cuts. had 2 of those yesterday. my blood sugar was 6.1 prior to eating. 30 mins postprandial was 6.8. same reading after an hour & 6.5 after 2 hours. so, all in all very good.
i had another two slices for breakfast today & 2 slices for dinner. it may just be my imagination and the fact that as i mentioned had not had any bread in a while, but i feel that it left a subtle sweet aftertaste that has stayed with me all day. and i fear that although the impact on blood sugar is negligible, it seems to have triggered my cravings and i ended up scoffing a not so small pack of peanuts after dinner. which might not seem so awful were it not for the fact that i have not (literally) NOT had any snacks anytime throughout the day for the last 3 weeks and only once in the last 2 months.
so sadly, i am finishing it off and not having any more...well, after i finish the other pack seeing as i bought two.
Just been to Morrisons and asked to speak to the head of the bakery dept. i asked him if they did any NIL or very low carb loaves or buns. His answer (and it was a split second one) was no, sorry but you might find something in the "FREE FROM" section, isle 24. I then said "don't you think there would be a market to produce Low Carb bread for people like diabetics" to which he replied "No, not really as I don't think there's that many". I just walked away and bought a bag of Jelly Babies.
I have to say that Livlife bread is the best thing since...... well, sliced bread really. Finally a bread I can eat that doesn't raise my BG! The only problem is actually getting hold of it. My local waitrose stocks it, but often they have run out. I placed an order via their website, and after messing me around for a week they told me they could not supply it via the website. You can get it off Amazon but it's pricey at £2.45 a loaf and £5 postage. I buy as many loaves as I think I can fit in the freezer, usually 6 at a time. It sets me back £20 but is worth it.
This isn't bad Carol .Low carb and quite tasty. http://www.livlifefoods.co.uk/ available at Waitrose and some Morrisons
