Is garlic butter good for diabetics?

There is only one way to find out and that is to test before and two hours after eating it.

Lurpak garlic butter has 4 gram carbs / per 100 in it.

It is well within the normal parameters of what a type two can eat - from a carb point of view - just I would not touch it as I can't stand garlic.

I'm a diabetic and garlic butter makes me very happy, which is good for me, so yes! And it doesn't have a lot of carbs, so it won't hurt my diabetes eiter
Google says about 1 grams of carbs per clove, so if I mix 5 cloves with 250 grams of butter it's about 2 grams per 100 grams garlic butter. I won't eat 100 grams of it in one sitting, so the carbs from garlic butter in one meal is neglectable.

What do you use to put your carlic butter on? If it's anything like bread, toast or crackers it might push your sugar up.

IMO, it's not an issue at all. On a fillet steak, perfect

It's alright spread on HB low carb bread as well.

Oh, I see you only just joined and this is your first post, so a belated welcome to the forum, @Tony313 ! I'll tag @daisy1 for you for her very informative welcoming post, she'll post in on this thread as soon as she's on line.
Could you tell us some more about yourself and your diabetes?

I agreed to go for dinner with someone from the polytechnic, who'd been wanting to date me for ages.
He told me that he'd be cooking beef with garlic - and I told him I didn't eat garlic.
"You'll love it." he said.
"No I won't." I replied.
Got to the door, and the place stunk of garlic.
I drank coffee, he ate beef with garlic, I could not touch it. He was indignant, I shrugged and said I had to go. He persuaded me to another cup of coffee.
I said I had to go and get something to eat. I got up. He tried to kiss me, and I threw up all over him, all over everything. I think he finally believed what I told him

I make garlic bread using fathead dough. It's wonderful!

I make a very acceptable coriander and garlic ‘naan’ bread to eat with curry using crushed garlic mashed into butter with a sprinkle of dried coriander, spread it on a Josephs low carb pitta, then grill for a couple of minutes. Lovely with a curry

I’m confused by this fathead dough. So can you taste the almond? It uses almond flour?

The garlic would kill the almond taste.

 

[xfieldok]

It does have an almond taste. You can make it with coconut flour but I haven't tried it yet.

No funny enough. I use fathead dough to make sausage rolls. They turned out better than pastry ones

Strange as I can hardly taste the Almond flour, now the coconut one I can, seems more sweet
