Cream, if available, is your best bet. Provided it is proper cream and not some made up version.
Just going back to Lidl rolls - I always toast mine so don't have a problem, but some people find if eating them untoasted they are better zapped in a microwave before eating to soften them up.

I only ever drink espresso's so no problems with the milk or sugar bit. For me the hardest thing to give up was toast, I used to eat Sourdough toast for breakfast then as a sandwhich for lunch and sometimes as cheese on toast for tea if I coudn't be bothered to cook.
The Lidl protien rolls are great, I love them toasted with a little peanut butter and banana as a sweet treat once a week.

This is the beauty of self testing! You have learnt a valuable lesson.
Do you have a Lidl near you? They sell low carb rolls (about 9g carbs per roll) They are called High Protein Rolls, sell at 29p each, and can be found in the fresh bread baskets. They are dark brown, triangular, and packed with seeds. I slice mine in half and just have half toasted with butter. I find a half is enough because they are very filling. They freeze well.
Great call on the Lidl high protein roll. Had one earlier with ham, tomato and a bit of mayo. Just checked blood sugar 2 hours later - 6.1

Lidl Roll are good but I do find them chewy and 'heavy going' sometimes. I am a convert to Burgen Bread which you can find in most Sipermarkets. It is 9g of Carbs per slice which is about half of normal bread (and very tasty). I find a couple slices nice with scrambled or poached eggs to have a minimal effect on me.
