Have a look for the various bread recipes on the www.dietdoctor.com website.
@Chook loves them. :)

I found that a whole Lidl protein roll spiked me the first few times, but after that not. Weird. Maybe it was because i just kept adding butter each time...? :D

Thank you, just gone and looked, I think I need to go through what they have, and it looks like I'm going to be trying a few of them very soon

You may have got it in one there @Bs0lth When our pancreas has been used to very low carb and therefore been producing less insulin, it will continue to produce less insulin until things change. A sudden hit with carbs, albeit only one Lidl roll as a snack, the insulin produced will have been too little. Thus a higher spike than you might expect. This is called the last meal effect. It is a well known phenomenon and could be what happened in your case. It may be worth trying it again, but not as a snack. As part of a meal and not for breakfast. Evenings may be better.

Bluetit, think this makes the most sense so far, I will give one a go in a couple of days time, but for the moment I'm not touching them.

However....

Can I just say how much I enjoyed it. Loads of butter, a cup of coffee and ok if it was this weeks treat then so be it. I think the craving was just because it was so good.... Sigh

Hi Briantheelder

Bread has always been a problem for me, even before I was diagnosed, I know it's still going to be a problem for me.. God I sound like an alcoholic .. But I've avoided eating it completly over the last four weeks. After reading about the lidl protein roll I bought 1.... Tested before and after to see exactly what it did, and for the foreseeable future I'm not buying any more.

I tried the cauliflower pizza because it means I can eat pizza with the rest of the family, and there are times when a sandwich would be convenient but for the most part I need to break my bread habit. Hence asking if there are any alternatives out there...

It might come diwn to for me there are no alternatives and have to give it all up, but honestly now when I think of normal white bread all I see is sugar cubes...

Hi @Bs0lth Funny you should say that, I am in fact an ex-alcoholic. They say the same about T2D as alcohol, once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic, there is no cure , etc etc. I have given up smoking, alcohol and lots of different carby food, it's all the same really, you just have to convince yourself that you don't do that anymore.

Your BS results are REALLY EXCELLENT so I wouldn't worry too much about the one that went a bit adrift.

Thanks Miahara.

It's taken a lot of perserverience to get them here, I've upped my activity loads, and I'm obsessive at the moment with what I eat... It's driving my family nuts :) but the more in control of them, I may be able to put off advancing to insulin which my doctors have all ready said is more than likely going yo be in my future...

Much respect to you, you have had multiple battles to over come. I have yet to give up smoking, after a year of therapy I had just started to get my head into stopping and I will do it, it's just this has thrown a road block in my path and I need to get my head round it. But, I'm more positive about things than I have been I. Years so hopefully that's going to be my next thing to conquer
