But what also happened is that your BG came back down quickly, so it looks like a decent insulin response, with maybe a little bit of overshoot...? CGMs are great for this -  I've had a similar response to a latte - 5 and a bit to 9 something in 20 mins, back to 5 and a bit by one hour.  You might want to do a bit of googling and look for  CGM graphs for non-diabetic people - there's quite a number around these days and it's interesting to see what "normal" carb etc responses look like. So - if that was me getting that graph - that bread would be something I'd have as a bit of a treat every so often. The risk of course is that it slips from two slices to four, and to four times a day, and suddenly you're in the eights most of the time. If you can avoid that, you might be on to something.</blockquote>
