I need to look at those lo carb bread recipes, I don't know if the ingredients will be available here. Or where I may find the time to make it! The Burgen link just shows Tesco as a stockist - our Tesco doesn't have the range of things you guys will be used to! I need to see if they deliver...

Yes I test, test, test. The wraps and pittas (wholemeal) are OK for me, bread of any kind so far I have tried isn't, big time. Rice and potatoes are the other big no-no's for me.

Thank you. No Sainsburys I'm afraid - we only have Tesco (only one, which is in the capital 24 miles away) Co-op and local ShopRite which is associated with Waitrose for some product. That's it....island life. :banghead:

I see Burgen bread mentioned frequently around the diabetes community. When looking on the interweb for this (as I love bread but have found it bad for my BG) I now see that Burgen is a brand, not a product. Does anyone have experience of which products of Burgen that are of use possibly...

5.1 this morning, after poppadoms, chicken tikka and a beer (one) last night! Yay, beers good for me.....LOL. Happy with 5.1 though, being serious.

Understatement of the year as far as I'm concerned!!!!!

5.6. I was 9 last night after a basically no carb meal and 5.5 before eating, not sure at all why it was so high, after a reasonable week. Ah well, diabetes!

9/5.6. The 9 was a bit random, had no carbs.

6.6 no idea why. No carbs last night.

5.5 - record low.

5.6/5.5 wish it was so every day!

5.5 - after fish and (a few) chips too!

5.8 again - that'll do.

JuilanneG your first post rings so many bells with me. I'm recently diagnosed T2 found whilst testing to see what was causing high blood pressure (New drug, as it happens) after years of good control. I also have, or had, reactive hypoglycaemia, which I have had all my adult life I can recall...

6.3/6.0 Regular if nothing else.

6.3.had better but s about average. Always lower by lunchtime.

6.9/6.2 - I now know about pizza effect! Hadn't read about that before. No more pizza.

Sheesh - 11.2 last night, after some pizza (not a lot) and a lot of salad. I was 5.8 before eating. Mad.

6.2/4.4 - more like it!

Sorry I missed your reply. Diabetes obsessed.....trawling around the interweb too much. I was admin manager for Podiatry for Newcastle City Health before I came to the island in 2002. We were doing 50,000 appointments a year, I was 'a touch' stressed! That was why I left before it killed me...
