Type 2 Good News with white bread

I have had some successes, and some failures, with "low-carb" bread.

At dietdoctor.com and other websites there are recipes using alternative ingredients such as almond flour with psyllium husk. I was able to make small keto bread buns (https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/the-keto-bread) but they are quite hard to get right, and often don't rise properly, or have other issues. You can also make garlic bread with a similar recipe. Baking an entire loaf with such a recipe is hard; it comes out all mealy and hard to eat, in my experience. Even my daughter, who is an expert baker, couldn't get it to come out right. The photos on dietdoctor look yummy and I wish I could get my bread to come out that way!!!

I have had much better luck with "keto seed crackers" which are great for spreading cheese or other foods on (https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-seed-crackers). My wife and I love these crackers and prepare several batches per week.

In the UK there is some kind of "protein bread" at the Tesco supermarket chain, which is often mentioned in this forum. I have not found this here in America yet.

But in the end I decided to give up bread, pretty much, apart from the "seed crackers" mentioned above and that is not really bread at all.

I don't use a meter and don't understand the numbers, so I can't help you with that. What I do know is that any bread made with grains is likely to be high-carb, so I gave up all bread, it was just simpler for me. If you can find bread that doesn't spike your BGs too much, all power to you!

I also almost completely gave up beer, which is basically liquid bread with a little bid of alcohol. This was much harder for me than giving up bread....
