Just remember each slice of different bread all very in weight, therefore the carb content per slice is different. Some may say 4 gram carbs per slice so check the carbs per 100 grams, Lidl sells a protein roll containing 8.5 grams carbs per 100 grams weight.
 
Just been to Lidl again, had a thought that Lidl are not industrial bakers so maybe not all baked at same time,seems I might have been right ,got some so now it's time to test and see if they suit me,so 2hrs after breakfast I should have an idea how the suit me.

Just eaten my first Lidl High Protein roll - well, actually only half of a whole one. I toasted it, smothered it in butter and had 2 boiled eggs with it. I'll update everyone with the results later.

P.S. It was delicious and very filling.

I promised an update, so here it is:

Fasting reading this morning - 6.3
2 hours later and just before I had breakfast - 7.3
1 hour after eating 2 boiled eggs and half a Lidl High Protein roll - 6.9
2 hours -----------------"---------------------------"------------------------ - 7.5
3 hours -----------------"---------------------------"------------------------ - 6.2

I think it was a successful test :) but I'll repeat it again just to make sure. I'd also like to try it when I start at a lower reading (I really must try to eat something not long after I get up).
 
Change of plan,salmon salad for evening meal so will test and I will have half of HP roll results to come later
 
Here are results for yesterday's evening meal 15 mins before meal 5.3 2hrs after meal6.3 I'm happy with that but will keep checking just in case that was abnormal
 
will try that bread as it sounds yummy :)
