I'm type 2 and not on insulin so don't bolus for eating, but I find I just have to stay away from white bread (rolls etc) as it just does not work for me, for me it is evil and I love the stuff

I have found some wholemeal (or as we call it Brown) bread that I tolerate really well, but some of the wholemeals are just as bad for me as white bread, there is a Hovis wholemeal (I mention it as you are in the UK and will know the brand) that I just can't touch. Just two slices for toasted for breakfast (starting around 5.1) sent me on a rollercoaster for a day.

Have I had white bread since DX, yes on the odd/special occassion, normally when I have a nice low starting number and once when after a few glasses of wine I got beligerent with my Diabetes and said to h*ll with it!
