I buy LIVLIFE bread from Morrisons £1.00, also Waitrose. £1.50
It has only 4 carbs per slice, it is only a small loaf and has seeds in it, but it's really filling and really nice, ideal for diabetics.

Hi I have tried different breads, then tested and the only one I have now is Burgen bread no rising of BG readings. Also I buy 2 lidl rolls a week cut them in half and have half a time on alternate days. They too do not rise my BG readings, but this is only me, everyone is different, just thought I would share this in case it works for someone else too.
Most discussions i have read has advised that it is OK to eat Brown Bread in moderation. I also attended the Desmond Program where we were all given Brown Bread to eat, the nurse, as well as my Doctor has also encourage eating no more than two slices of Brown Bread per serving. I am newly diagnosed and still working my way through a maze of info from everyone!!!! I have ditched Brown Bread for Dark Seeded Organic Bread and now waiting for my blood test in a few days to see if i am OK. If you have switched bread or have any advice for my choice i would love to hear from you.
hi, my advise to you is to get your gp putting you on diabetes education course. this will give you a clear information on diabetic, what you can eat & whats good for you. its the only way to fully understand, get the grip of it & live a normal life again.
like you, i was concerned & confused but my gp had asked me if im interested on going to the course. it was the best decision ive ever made, its a 3 days courses but well worth it. id highly recommended! by the end of the course you wish you knew about the course when you were prediabetes. you could easily reverse back by knowing what to eat with healthy diet.
to put your mind at rest, you can eat pretty much everything but with the right portions & how many calories intake per day. from the course you will learn all that.
with that, all youll need to do is to make sure that whatever you eat, you dont exceed the daily recommendations as below:
Calories: 2000kcal
Total fat: 70g
Saturates: 20g
Total Carbs: 260g
Sugars: 90g
Protein: 50g
Salt: 6g
this is your allowances to eat per day. to understand fully in depth, i highly recommend you to get your gp putting you on dietitian course or youd never be overcome your worries. good luck!
You should live here then, the bread I buy is a lot lower than Livlife,LIVLIFE bread has the lowest carbs that i know of. Been using it for years.
Much of a much ness, tho' they are slightly smaller than white bread.Looks great, seems to be in Australia only, are the slices the same size as your average bread?
I just have one slice of LIVLIFE bread in the morning or at lunch and its gives way better blood sugar results compared to the other type of bread available on the shop shelf ( the lowest ive found on the supermarket was 9g of carbs per slice and the Bg results were still not very good)
Why did you give up cheese and eggs? These are good foods for a person with diabetes, which is a difficulty in digesting carbohydrates.Carol the bread is £1.00 and the Carbs are 34.2g of which 2.3g is sugar. My Doctor advised me to have oats which i eat daily, i buy Quaker Oats so i can have a measured packet but they contain more carbs and no sugar so i would say the bread is less harm right now. Still trying to work out what else to avoid as i have given up Cheese, eggs, rice, jams, honey, spreads, and pasta... any advise is welcome...

@low_carbb Here's the test I did last year with HB bread, start at the bottom and it will make sense when you work up. The bgl are pretty good as I far as I am concerned.
I have not got any of HB's pasta yet as I have a stack of cooked portions of pasta in the freezer, I then reheat them when needed. I have got the portion size down so they do not blow my bgl to shreds.might give low carb pasta a try soon and see how it goes.

I watched the Trust Me I Am A Doc program where Mosely demonstrated it.
