Low GI bread

Burgen soy and linseed is very low carb bread ready made, if you like baking there are loads of recipes on the forum, almond bread I make on my own and love it.
Have a look at this, its full of recipes

It's not so much the GI rating you need to consider, but the total carbohydrates you consume. Most loaves now seem to put the carbs on the nutritional information as per slice too, so it's easy to work out exactly how much you're having. A normal slice of brown bread is in the region of 15g of carbs per slice. The Burgen bread brettsza mentioned is 11 g carbs per slice (and they're large too), so certainly a saving.

If you have a Lidl near you they do some 'high protein' buns in the fresh bakery section. They're a large triangular dark bun covered in sesame seeds and sold loosely for 39p each. They have a lot of flax seeds in the bread, although it's very light and fluffy inside and they are quite a substantial eat. They work out at just over 10g of carbs each bun but each one is like eating 2 slices of bread - one would be enough for a substantial butty when filled with good stuff - I have half one one toasted occasionally with my scrambled egg for breakfast.

Yes the Burgen Soya & Linseeds is a low-gi bread as is most of the German/Polish Rye Breads, I use a brand called Healthguard which has a nice deep rye flavour which isn't too overpowering, it's even better when toasted:

Thanks for the tip of german/polish breads noblehead, I have loads of polish stores around I Will go and check there.

Hi
I have been diagnosed type 1 out the blue recently but only on metformin at present and have gone lowish carb.
try the HI LO bread from Sainsbury.
go on their web site and find your nearest branch or order online.
This is the only bread that does not spike me so far and fills you up to.
I think it is only 4 carbs per slice. Even though the slices are small they are fairly filling.
good luck
