better off tweeting Surkrin who already have a mix - if that was available in stores it could be much cheaper

Is it Livelife bread @lovinglife?

That's the one @noblehead - kept wanting to type lowlife but I knew that wasn't right

16 quid for a kilo! What planet they on?

thats 4 loaves - £4 a loaf. I pay that for gluten free bread anyway - or i can have much healthier fresh bread seems quite reasonable to me...

There's another low-carb bread called Hi-Lo:

The Livelife bread is an acquired taste, I thought it tasted awful and the slices were far too small to make a decent sandwich.

Not trying to rub your nose but just 5% is 3250000. so lets say quarter mil buy a loaf once a week. Not bad bump on bread sales

The UK average of diabetics as a percentage of the population is actually 4.6% https://www.diabetes.org.uk/prevalence-2012

So your 5% figure is pretty accurate but what you havent taken into account is that only a minute number of those 3250,000 actually eat a very low carb diet, I dont know the numbers and I doubt that anyone else does but it is going to be a very very small percentage indeed probably somewhere around a quarter of a percent as the vast majority of diabetics are able to and do eat breads of one description or another.

I doubt any of the few remaining large bakery companies would risk launching a product that only a few thousand people wanted to buy.

I agree that the vast majority of diabetics probably do eat bread, but then the vast majority of diabetics do not control their diabetes well.

When I initially read the OP, I thought "Why bother? Just don't eat bread" But maybe Hovis could make a greater name for themselves by actually producing a low carb bread and then marketing it explaining why reducing carb intake is important to diabetics (and the obese).

Sadly I feel most diabetics eat bread because they don't know it can raise their BG's and therefore cause them harm.

So yes tweeting Hovis is a great idea.
