Half a round of fried bread? I couldn't leave it at that, i'd have to have the whole slice, so am better leaving it out completely ;)

RESULTS are in for 100g of the ice cream on it's own.
Pre 7.4 which was 2hrs post dinner.
1hr 6.5
90 mins 6.8
2 hrs 6.2
So looks like the 8g of carbs in it had very little affect if any.

I'm glad it didn't spike you, but it meant you were still in the 6's at 4 hours post your dinner. What are you normally 4 hours post dinner?
I'm another that can have half a slice of fried bread (white because my seeded bread isn't as nice fried) without any affect on my levels, but I do have it with a full fry up, so lots of fat. Having said that, I am OK with one slice of my Hovis as well.
 
I'm going to try fried bread in a few weeks time, want to get my levels stable before I start testing any more potentially dodgy foods ;)
When I was a kid I loved fried bread with a hole cut in the middle and an egg fried in it, anyone else? :)

I hover between mid 5's to mid 7's & considering I was 7.4 at the start hrs post dinner it really had no effect at all on my lvl.

Macadamia and walnut add a lovely taste to salads and you don't need to use much.

  • Macadamia oil has close similarities as that of olive oil. Added to dishes, it imparts sweet delicious flavor to a wide variety of foods. It is widely applied as cooking and dressing oil in the preparations of vegetables, seafood and meat dishes in many cuisines.

I have to agree about macadamia nut oil. It tastes really good and it's got a good omega 3 to 6 ratio (roughly 1:1). Unfortunately I haven't seen any in stores since I moved form California. I plan to check out the local health food store soon.

Have you used it or use it for sweetening things to replace sugar.
Its made from 100% fruit,containes 3,4 carbs of which sugar is 3/tsp, normal sugar has 8 I believe, it's low gi/gl so a lot less chance of the spike, & it says use 25% less gram for gram than sugar, but I think you could get away with 50% so half the gram for gram of sugar.
Uses porrigde tea coffee baking etc.

If you are after ice cream have you tried http://boojabooja.com/ice-cream/ ? Very few ingredients though still fairly high carb and quite pricey but certainly none of the rubbish put into lots of the other mass produced ice creams. I haven't yet tried it so can't comment on flavour!

Try it and see, but with 16% fructose it's not for me - type 2's can't cope too well with fructose. Have a Google round about it. It can make insulin resistance worse I believe.

Ice cream is a dairy product.
That thing is a vegetable chemical product.
Only ice cream I'll eat is home made or one that says on the label .... real dairy ice cream.

Maybe if you have too much it could, same as everything else can be bad in large quantities.
Anyway tried the Sweet freedom this morn with me 30g porridge.
Yesterday as I normally have it.
B4 6, post 1hr 8.9 & 2hr 5.6
Today with 2 tsp added.
B4 6.1 post 1hr 8.4 & 2hr 6.9.
So less of a rise but slower to drop back, forgot to test at 90mins but as it was 6.1 at 2hrs prob was on way back down then anyway. So to me not bad & did add the needed sweetness to.
