I was diagnosed Type 2 nearly 2 years ago and had to give up so many things that I once enjoyed. Can anyone recommend a jam that I can find in the supermarket?
Thank you.
 
You probably won’t find one in a supermarket but I’ve bought a jam called Good Good Jam on line & in Holland & Barrett - it doesn’t have a long shelf life once opened but it’s a good jam, a bit in the steep side at £4 a jar but if it’s something you really miss it may be worth it to you. It’s about 2.5g carb per 10g (two level teaspoons)

I did buy some good good jam for my husband who is prediabetic. He liked it, but I can’t persuade him to use low carb bread, so he ended up having it on normal bread with the expected blood sugar spikes from the bread.

I stopped buying it!
 
St-Dalfour fruit spreads contain no added sugar, but you must keep them in the fridge once opened, as they go off very quickly. Personally, I do have a little jam, marmalade or honey from time to time - either on toast (usually only on holiday) or a teaspoonful stirred into natural yoghurt if I've nothing else to accompany it.

I only have sourdough bread, I guarantee he’ll enjoy that.
