Whats the story with peanut butter?

[Bazzza]

I was just wondering if its ok to eat in small amounts...like spread on an oatmeal cracker for instance?

Yep, no probs with peanut butter at all.

Love peanut butter, like you I like it on oat crackers and it goes well with a nice slice of wholemeal seeded toast

Excellent Always loved it on toast in my diabetes free days Noblehead, Can you recommend a good brand of bread...or even one that you use yourself?

At the moment I like the Hovis Wholemeal Seed Sensation bread, I got some last night whilst shopping in Morrisons and it was 2 loafs for £2.50p.

There's some bread that are lower in the glcemic index, Burgen Bread is one and any Rye/Pumpernickel breads are also low gi. It all depends on whether the bread spikes your bg levels, and of course your own taste as to which bread you enjoy.

The cracker is more of an issue than the peanut butter.

Yep I love peanut butter, I have a teaspoonful with my lunch mix. Love it. Occasionally on one of those cheddar crackers, they're 1.8 g each x

Carrot sticks, a jar of peanut butter and a movie .... what more can you ask for. Well ice cream of course!

Tip 1 when open, keep in fridge
Tip 2 dip finger in everytime you make coffee!!

I love it, got a 1/2 empty 1kg tub of 100% peanut butter in fridge.. Yum!!

Never do crackers though...

Tip 3 though, do not use finger for blood testing after!
