Yes that was @engineer who has coeliac disease as well.There's also a very low carb ( approx 1g carbs per sllce) bread mix made by Sukrin that you bake yourself. Originally recommended by someone else on the forum. It comes in a single loaf pack with its own foil baking tin , and you just add water, mix, pop in the tin and bake in the oven for just over an hour. There's a bulk buy pack too that comes without the baking tin. But they're both rather expensive compared to these other brands being discussed, though the bulk option is about half the price per loaf if you can afford the initial outlay... I get mine occasionally from Amazon if I'm feeling rich!

& Asda do it for £1 also.Try Bergen from Iceland at £1 a good size loaf. It is really nice toasted.
I bake my own granary loaf. I can have 2 large slices without it affecting my BG. If anyone wants the recipe I can post it.There's also a very low carb ( approx 1g carbs per sllce) bread mix made by Sukrin that you bake yourself.

Can someone educate me as to why I need to low carb as a T1? I take insulin on the basis of how many grams of carbs I eat, what I read on here makes me think I am doing something wrong.
You don't " need" to low carb as a Type 1 theoretically , but there are benefits from doing so, or at least reducing your carbs .the reasons as to why goes something like this :
To deal with carbs, you need to inject insulin. The higher the carb load, the more insulin you need. Higher doses of Insulin leads to weight gain, and possible insulin resistance. Higher body weight means you require yet more insulin. The higher the carb load/ insulin dosages , the more room there is for error with resultant hypo/ hyper.
That has been my experience anyway .
