Hi @jayney27 everyone is different what spikes one person is ok for others just test before and after you've tried it,depending on what I have on my plate black pudding has on occasions raised my BG I try and compromise by lowering carbs on my plate, so if I have black pudding and my BG test before was higher than I like I either miss out the toast and have black pudding or other way round. It's how you find your own body works we are all different! K Test test test that's the best advice I can give you! K

Thanks, I will test before and after to see what happens.

Hope black pudding is something you can still enjoy,just watch the carbs and reduce until BG are under control but testing will give you the answer it's the only way we can find out what is best to eat! K

Aldi Skyr is very low carb, as are Alpro soya protein yogurt, and the Alpro one with coconut. I eat those, and Fage, and the Aldi Brooklea Greek yogurt.

I can't eat too much dairy so am also a fan of the alpro plain yogurts - I love the almond one. Although there is a small amount of added sugar they are still low carb and I don't find they spike me.

Thank you for the suggestions, like the idea of the coconut one

I have tried as much of the mainstream supermarket yogurts, going from low fat, to Alpro and now full fat Greek yogurts, as I am not scared of fat anymore. I like thick and creamy, so my favourites are::

I've eated the Fage Total full fat Greek yoghurt for donkeys years, and since well before I was diagnosed as diabetic. I like it and see no real reason to change. But it's now usually with berries or rhubarb as my sweet with my evening meal or as a "sauce" in cooking.

However, as long as you avoid the low /reduced/no fat versions or those with fruit/sugar already added them I think the choice is yours, but (a) check all carb content and the list of ingredients for additions in the form of starchy fillers, etc , then (b) test to see how you react to that brand.
