I have made a great discovery. Was looking around the shops & found Gullon Sugar free chocolate flavoured waver biscuits. I thought why not. But before I ate, I checked my sugars & they were 7.2 before eating. I didn't take any insulin. I opened the packaged & inside were individual packets of 8 mini wafers. I ate the lot lol. I checked my sugars 2 n half hours later. 7.4. They literally only rose 0.2.

I've not tried the other's as I just bought the wafers. They sell them in 99p stores, Poundland & I think other discount stores.

Here's the site for them http://www.gullon.es/en

Worth a try & see how you get on first without insulin. Just don't be stupid like me & eat the entire packet. But it's safer to have 1 or 2 without insulin than it is to take it & find out your dropping like a stone!

If anyone's is or has tried these. I'd love to know if they are as good for you as they are for me!
 
Hi VsUK
That sounds very promising :) However, I'm wondering what happened to your glucose levels, during the 2.5 hours??? ;)

Well I'm pretty sure my sugars can't rise beyond 9.4 & drop again within the 2 & half hours without insulin considering the quantity I ate lol.

I love them and have the vanilla cream ones as well also the shortcake ones I usually only eat a couple in the evening with a cup of tea. My husband has the sugar free digestives ones
