Thanks for your adviseTo be honest in terms of glucose response, bread is among the worst. You’d probably literally be better off having one slice of toast covered in sugar than you would two slices of plain toast. Sorry but that’s the reality. Bread can raise blood glucose just as much if not more than table sugar.
Whether or not this concerns you is another matter
I have low carb bread but going to try yoghurt and Berry's or boiled eggs not keen on baconOn the toast thing - if you absolutely have to have something quick/toast-y, have you tried the lower carb bread? It doesn't taste as great as proper bread, but if what you are looking for is something ridiculously quick and easy, it's a good thing to just put stuff on top of/in between!
I use the LivLife bread - which you can get from Waitrose or Ocado - and it's expensive, but someone on here freezes it in small two slice batches, which would make it much more efficient (she says - not doing it myself and then ending up throwing away half a thing of bread ). And my big helpings of cheese or ham or cheese and ham or tuna mayo or sometimes even Marmite with slatherings of butter go on that. Because I feel stupid eating just a mountain of cheese for breakfast. And yogurt has yet to fill me up... ever.
Thank you for your adviseLoads of low carb breakfast ideas here:

I am on gliclazide too, and I find I can tolerate one slice of seeded batch loaf from Aldi. It is cheap, has roughage and the fortifying vitamins required by law, amd the glic sees it off nicely, I have butter on mine to slow it down a bit. and for me I use bacon and egg for protein. I am not hungry during the day, and am not tempted to snack.I can manage bread, as long as I do not exceed my allowance of carbs per day, but I make it myself, using milled seed mix (from Lidl) psyllium flour, coconut flour, ground almonds, then rye flour and wholemeal bread flour, yeast, salt and lard, and baking powder (as the yeast can't raise all that non gluten dough).
I have been making small loaves, but plan on some muffin tin sized rolls, and I limit my baking days too. Perhaps if I have bread on days when I don't have berries for dessert it would work out most easily.
I have been low carbing for two years and got down to the top end of normal levels, otherwise I would not risk it.
