[QUOTE="ChocFish, post: 91785, member: 981"] Hi Ming It all depends on how many carbs your husband can tolerate without getting spikes, that is where testing before and after meals comes in. Check on the nutrition information on the bread wrappers, some like Weight Watchers wholemeal or thin sliced wholemeal multigrain breads have lower carb content but still might be too much for your husband. You can purchase low carb bread, our Fergus (moderator) has brought one of those onto the market, you need to send him a PM and ask for details, you can also buy low carb bread from the low carb megastore [url=http://www.lowcarbmegastore.co.uk]http://www.lowcarbmegastore.co.uk[/url] or [url=http://www.avidlite.co.uk]http://www.avidlite.co.uk[/url], you can also purchase lower carb flour from these stores. I note from your other posts that your husband has had some complications, but you know there is plenty of hope that if he manages to achieve good control over his diabetes and his bg numbers within non-diabetic levels he can reverse or at least stabilise his conditions (do read the success stories, there is lots of inspiration there). Have you got hold of the Collins Little Gem Carb Counter book, its only small but ever so useful when you go out shopping and devising meals, etc reducing carbs in the diet is really very flexible, it all depends on the individual and is trial and error in the beginning, do keep a food diary and write down his readings too. Cut out transfats from your diet, eat lots of healthy low/medium carb vegetables, low carb fruit such as berries, make sure you get all the good oils, eg fish oils, olive oil, flax seed oil, etc, nuts, if you cant chew them or bits go between your teeth, just grind them. Also get hold of the book, Dr Charles Clarke The Diabetes Revolution, its very easy to read and will give you insight, there are other really good books around, but these two are a really good start. The Diabetes Revolution is easy to read, I finished mine in just a few hours. And I know you worry very much about your husband, but you know reducing carbs is a good and healthy thing to do for everyone whether diabetic or not, bread, pasta, cereal, rice, potatoes, etc have very little nutritional value, the are just mainly fillers. All the best to you and husband Karen [/QUOTE]
