Hello Julie,

I like tuna too. I can’t eat it with bread though because bread makes my blood sugar rise.

I mix it with mayonnaise, spring onions, cucumber and tomato and have it with coleslaw and grated cheese.

Have you been diabetic long? For me it’s 14 years now.

Hi there! You mentioned you can't eat sandwiches because bread spikes your blood sugar. Of course, if you eat wheat bread, your glucose is bound to go up; white bread is addictive—I have a friend who isn't diabetic but is addicted to white bread; he eats two white bread baguettes with lunch and neither can nor wants to give it up. I bought a bread machine and make my own bread, so I can eat sandwiches. Tuna is off-limits (because of the price), but yesterday I had a sandwich on flaxseed bread with slices of tomato and onion. I’ll tell you, I once ate half a kilo of flaxseed bread, and my blood sugar was normal two hours after eating. It’s really easy to make bread with a bread machine—you don't have to put in nearly as much work as you would making it by hand. Cheers!
