My local bakery lacks @Shaz51
They don't sell multigrain. Which my dietitian said is the lowest GI
So I buy Woolworths bakery 680 gram multigrain loaf
I just bought a glucose metre and lancing doodad today to see better which breads I should eat.

Glucose meter sounds interesting @DogMan79 , have you used it 🤔
Multi grain is better than white

Not yet @Shaz51 Next pay I need to buy the strips and pins. Just the disposable stuff
I'm a pensioner and buying all in one go was a bit much
This is the kit

Pretty flowers @Shaz51 😊
Hope the glucose testing helps give some good guidance for how your body is responding to the different foods @DogMan79 .
I tried doing that a number of years ago when i was diagnosed with IR, but it hurt too much (constant ache) when doing finger-tests 😭. I must be too sensitive on my fingertips. However I know many people cope with it without too much adjustment 😊.

Hello @Emelia8 and Hannah xx
How are you going

I am glad you are able to get NDIS support for the diabetes @Shaz51 😊. Is this in addition to the NDSS?

Hiya @Shaz51 👋💕 and everyone.
I'm alright I guess. Just really tired. Not been sleeping lately and nightmares are a problem again.
The hot humid weather we are getting is tiring too I guess, very energy sapping. Wish summer would end and autumn would kick in 😊
How are you? 💕
