I was working in greggs before we closed so working 6 hour shifts and didn't really eat that much, but I do eat wholegrain pasta, pumpkin seeded brown bread, and sweet potato, it's just sitting about stressing plus bp is up am just needing some reassuring that it will come down again!!Are you relying on exercise to reduce your levels or do you eat a low carb diet?
Those things you've listed are carby! I'd spike with any one of those. Much as I miss a lovely slice of bread. If you want your blood glucose down, the obvious thing is to ditch them. Ditch all the carbs!!
Wholegrain pasta and the seeded bread doesn't spike my bloods at all, I think it's the stress of all of what's happening was meant to have my hba1c test soon, but there not doing it so trying to keep it down in general
It will have a very quick impact on your blood sugar and you'll find it should go down.
It's not easy, but its worth it.
The bad news: All that stuff is carby and will spike blood sugars. Good news being, you can gain a lot of ground by cutting out the carbs. As in, in all likelihood you can get back to non-diabetic numbers, rather than prediabetic.

It's organic wholegrain pasta and seeded bread that's very very low in carb and sugar, I've been eating then si ce diagnosed and have come along way, but with everything going on at the moment am struggling and more comfort eating again and it's trying to get out of that,The bad news: All that stuff is carby and will spike blood sugars.

I would love to know the brands as I miss both of these. But I really would double check them.It's organic wholegrain pasta and seeded bread that's very very low in carb and sugar, I've been eating then si ce diagnosed and have come along way, but with everything going on at the moment am struggling and more comfort eating again and it's trying to get out of that,
But what do you consider low carb? I eat well under 20 grams per day... Wholegrain pasta is about 40 grams per 100 grams, depending on the brand. That's more than I eat in two days. Could be others are perfectly fine with that though, but have you ever had 100 grams of pasta? That's next to nothing. Anyway, thing is, if you keep eating carbs in certain amounts, your body keeps having to deal with them: Diabetes T2 is a progressive condition unless you give your pancreas more breathing room... It may have been fine a year ago to eat grains in some form or another, but odds are your insulin insensitivity has gotten worse over time, as your body kept having to deal with glucose... So... Do yourself a favour and check with a meter what certain foods do to you. Your diet may have worked in the past, and it hasn't changed... But your body will have. Don't take it from a stranger on the internet, check with your meter. It won't try to sell you on some dogma or another. It'll just tell you whether you can still deal with that amount of carbs. (Test before a meal and 2 hours after it. If you go up more than 2.0 mmol/l, then it really isn't agreeing with you anymore).It's organic wholegrain pasta and seeded bread that's very very low in carb and sugar, I've been eating then si ce diagnosed and have come along way, but with everything going on at the moment am struggling and more comfort eating again and it's trying to get out of that,
