“I am a type 2 diabetic since about three years ago, and have been enjoying my favourite Sainsburys brown super-seeded bread believing it was suitably good for me. That was until I tried a 10-day blood glucose monitor to see what happens when I eat certain things.
It was quite shocking to see a very high spike after around half an hour of eating it - porridge was another shocker surprisingly along with pot-noodles.
Instantly I started looking for an alternative bread that was edible and found HeyLO. The loaves arrived, and I just had to try it to see if my expectations were true, and it tasted much better than I may have realistically expected, and also held together properly unlike gluten free bread.
I still had the blood glucose monitor on and there was ZERO spiking with this bread - an absolute winner, and I actually like the bread. It is so good and so low in carbs that I haven't even been tempted to try the other breads in the range.
Now I buy this bread regularly in bulk and freeze them to make sure that I never run out.
On another note, my sister-in-law is diabetic and coeliac, so could a low-carb and gluten free bread be developed maybe? There's nothing really out there!”
Hi, Thanks so much for your detailed review. Fantastic to hear that you're enjoying bread again without the glucose spikes! Thanks very much for sharing. Kind regards, The HeyLO! Team x
