I think sourdough is pretty high carb, but lower GI. The Hi-Lo bread is nice, its a tiny size loaf about the same size as Livlife but slightly thicker.

I have exactly the same, like rolled up socks under my toes in both feet, not a pain or a numbness per se but really uncomfortable and annoying.

As above plus exercise which is also important, if you don't already. Ideally a combination of cardio and resistance exercise, recommended 5 times a week for a minimum of 30 minutes a time.

Oh cripes, all of my exercise is done before my evening meal.

Look up intermittent claudication too, a common symptoms is calf pain whilst walking etc.

I've just looked at the prices of r-ala, blimey! And that's for low dosage 50mg stuff. Crikey.

How do I know which sort of ALA I have? I buy Nature's Best and it doesn't say anywhere?

That is interesting. I didn't know it is best to take it on an empty stomach.

Thank you, it's strange as throughout the day I'm always low-mid 5s with a short spike at 1 hour maybe high 6-7s and always down to fasting at 2 hours post-meal. Perhaps the overnight figure is high, sometimes I eat late and don't test after 2 hours post-evening meal. Anyway, at least its going...

Hi, I'm a 45 year old fit, slim male. 4 months ago I was diagnosed as prediabetic with an A1C result of 42. From that day on I have reduced my carbs probably in half to now under 100g a day (I have tried lower and couldn't do it with my lifestyle, sports etc), I have exercised 4 or 5 times a...

I have to use restraint with this product! Its just as nice if not nicer than the other Whole Earth products. I have checked the carb content with them and they assure me it is correct.

If you haven't already I recommend you try Whole Earth Mixed Seed Peanut Butter, it has peanuts, sunflower , pumpkin and flaxseeds. Absolutely delicious and is stated as total carbs of 4.6g per 100g.

And another one...in both feet, I've been taking ALA for about 3 months now 600mg daily. The pain and numbness is slightly better, but only slightly. I will give it more time.

Hi Coops, I'm in the same boat, Ive been low (well... reduced) carbing for 3 months now as a prediabetic, I don't think I'm ever going to get used to it , it's making me very depressed. I find I am stressing/anxious about food pretty much 24 hours a day, every day. Not being able to cook very...

600mg a day for 2 months now

The Lidl rolls are freshly baked in store and thus individually available at 29p each. The others mentioned are prepacked sliced

It's not bad at 9.2g carbs per slice, there's not many better than that. Burgen Soya & Linseed is about 11g per slice, Liv-life and Hi-Lo are 4-5g per slice but they are tiny size. There's always Lidl High Protein Rolls which I think are lovely and are around 10g carbs per roll.

Hi Schmee, I'm in exactly the same boat, I am prediabetic and have had numbness in the front half of my right foot for 3 months now. I am seeing a consultant podiatrist who has done MRI and ultra-sound scans which have shown nothing wrong. In the last 2 weeks I have started getting the same...

Good on you. Seems like that amount of granola is fine for you. I like those Lidl rolls, do try them toasted, they go all chewy and are fab. Keep up the good work Quirkybee!

Quirkybee I'm with you on this, i have been searching for a cereal type breakie for ages but all i have tried have badly affected me. You can try Lizi's, it's gorgeous, but it raised my BS really high too. I think making your own granola with one of the recipes online is worth a try, that's what...
