Hi. I had toast for breakfast on holiday and am looking to start having toast more often. Should I?

Bread will raise your blood glucose levels. But you're a type 1, so if you can inject insulin to cover the carbohydrate content then it's up to you.

If you like it and can match your bolus to it then go for it.

If you enjoy eating toast, then there's no reason why you shouldn't incorporate it into a sensible balanced diet.

Hi @22nw22 ,

I agree with the above comments.

What insulin regime are you on? Multiple daily injections or pump?

 

[22nw22]

Injections

If you want toast for breakfast as long as you bolus for it you will be fine

So there you have it @22nw22 ,

Toast is on the menu.. Though you will need to bolus extra (pending your personal insulin to carb ratio) for some of the "toppings" featured in this video...

Seeing as @Jaylee has dropped a video in about toast.

Here's one from the 1970's by a the Australian group Tin Tin.
