Being diabetic lol.
Hi. I have found a wonderful delicious low carb bread. The Kingsmill Crustless brown. It has 45 cals and 7.3 carbs per slice and most importantly it tastes wonderful. Normal. Thought I’d let you kno in case you had not tried it. X.
I bought it from Sainsbury’s but I assume it is in all shops; gonna look in my shop (where I work) today. X
 
7.3g a slice doesn't seem particularly low carb to me - depends on the definition of "a slice of bread" I guess but you can find anything from 6g to 13g quoted for ordinary bread in 10 seconds through google. I'd be more interested in the percentage of carbs by weight as an indicator here.
 
Hi @SuNuman, that would be a little on the high side for me. Livlife bread is under 3.4 gms a slice, it's very seedy. you can get it from waitrose only at the moment unfortunately. I get a delivery and get a load for my freezer.
 
Hi @SuNuman Well I thought I would give it a whirl this lunchtime it's been a while since I had any bread !! Tested blood beforehand 5.4 had two slices toasted with melted cheese tested again at one hour 6.9 then again at 2 hours back to 5.4 . Thank you for this @SuNuman . I will continue to monitor the consumption and blood levels . And as you say tastes wonderful .( But that was maybe because I haven't had bread for so long )
 
I now buy my bread from this company (and no I don’t have shares!). It’s very tasty, can’t tell it’s low carb, but it is a little expensive. It freezes well too

This is the thing for me. It tastes normal and lovely. I’d sooner have one slice of this than 2 slices of the very low carb stuff that I detest lol. X

That's fair: if your numbers are ok and you enjoy it, then it makes sense.
