Just goes to show what a deeply engrained (excuse the pun) part of our culture it really is. While it’s only really been around for about ten minutes, evolutionarily speaking, our bodies haven’t really evolved sufficiently to be able to process it in the large quantities our western diets provide. And when you add in the extra hurdle diabetes puts in the way, a large proportion of us are even less well equipped to deal with it. I’m don’t eat bread now, other than the odd slice of LivLife (3.6g carbs a slice, and I don’t need to bolus for a couple of slices), because I’ve found it’s impossible to manage my BG after eating it to a level that I’m happy with. Shame really, it’s nice. Hey ho. But I am having sardines on toast for dinner <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
