    Non diabetic Hba1c [emoji3]

    Carbohydrates

    The 47g of carbohydrate will be starch, and that is not likely to be good carb as it will spike blood glucose within an hour. Starch is as bad as sugar for increasing blood sugar (glucose). The only good carbs are fibres and prebiotics and they are listed separately. Posted edited by...

    Newbie considering 8 week diet

    LCHiFi (low carb, high fibre) is the way to go, follow that mantra and you won't go far wrong. Your GP seems to be a bit of a robot, not keeping up with the science. Try fiberflour

    Fiberflour

    Some people have reported good results with bread makers. I have used the bread maker on the dough setting (ie as a mixer) then turned out and used for pizza, flatbreads and rolls. A few tips for baking with breadmakers, use a smaller amount than usual say 200 to 300 gms of flour with 75%...
