Hi I’m julieclarke I’ve joined to find out more about T2 diabetes

If you want to see how a food affects you you need to test just before you eat it, and then two hours later.

If you have some grapes left try it tomorrow.
 
Looking at those levels @julieclarke, you may be better with a few strawberries or raspberries, the grapes & the peaches look like there’s too much sugar in them for you. You can have some nice double cream with your berries & even a bit of sweetener or perhaps some sugar free jelly?

Hi Julie did you look at how many carbs are in the tin? Carbs & sugar in tinned peaches can be very high, especially if they are in sweetened fruit juice. Did you test your blood sugar just before eating & two hours after.

You may remember I posted further back in your thread that strawberries, raspberries some blueberries & maybe a small green apple would be better than grapes and peaches

I use almond flour or ground almonds in place of the flour, with sweetener & butter I add a few finely chopped nuts to the crumble mix to give it some texture but that’s not necessarily

I don’t use flour at all but if you’re wanting to use ‘brown” flour as in wholewheat flour I suppose you can get it from any supermarket. But all flours whether they are brown or white are very high in carbs and may not be the best thing for someone with diabetes trying to control their blood sugar with diet
