IS it possible carb-wise to have a slice or two of black pud with bacon & eggs?
 
Depends on how many carbs you allow (or your hubby does) per meal, black pudding has oats in so can be quite carby, off the top of my head I think 1 slice of black pudding is about 13g carb. The only way you’ll know if it can be tolerated is to test the meal to see what it does to hubby’s BG
 
Ah that's too high then. I wasn't sure because we only ever bought it from the local butcher so it isn't labelled. He'll have to do without! -But I could have some... :cool:
 
Ask your butcher what he puts in it - I did many years ago get some from a butcher that had no oats and nice square lumps of fat - not local to me, was on holiday but was a treat whilst it lasted.

Messaged him on FB and he answered right back - he puts oats in. So that's that.

I do, very occasionally. There are oats - I think the 13g to 15g is correct - so it's not something I do often. A lot depends on what else I'm going to eat that day.

I had some on Saturday: Stornoway black pudding, it was really good. Not sure when the time before was. My best advice is to try some, and test before and two hours after and see what it does.
 
Unfortunatdly Black pudding is very variable. Some has lots of oatmeal in, some doesn't have much. Stornoway black pudding is high on oats. All you can do is read the nutritional information in the supermarket

That was the problem, we get our meat etc from local butcher and there are no labels, just slices.
