Sigh - the rye bread will convert to glucose, and go straight into the blood stream when it is digested, there is no glucose advantage in removing the skin from chicken - weetabix is over 2/3rds carbs, so really high - sugar is only part of the problem, bananas are used for an instant energy hit by type one diabetics and sportsmen, so slow release - I doubt it somehow.
If you start to test your BG levels regularly you might find that you tolerate some foods far better than others - we are not all the same, but it is better to treat the 'usual suspects' with caution.

Well that’s it then plus point is my last reading was 6.4 and it looks like a salad bowl and yogurt more often I wanted to keep off bread completely so thanks for the advice I only started eating rye the last few days and it is gone now have to look for something that can bulk my meals

Hi and welcome to the forum. Good to see you are learning about what foods will help or hinder you. An HbA1c of 49 is just over the threshold of 48 for diabetes so you may find it relatively easy to make a few changes and see results quickly. It's good to be motivated but also good to keep things in balance.

Yes like all newly diagnosed people I ran at the problem

I did the same when I was diagnosed, then went too far the other way. But I don't think you will do that, since you seem much fitter and more sensible than I was at the time.
