    My Mum was diagnosed with pre diabetes on Tuesday, she is cutting down on carbs and walking more but can anyone tell me the best brown bread for pre diabetes she is not overweight.
    Any other advice on reversing this would be really appreciated.

    I've just come out of a week in hospital (I'm type 1) and I'm full to the heels with mccambridges brown bread. It's 17g of carbs per slice. What her next step, has she a follow up appointment?

    She has to go back for fasting blood test in Aug to see if there is an improvement.

    Any whole grain bread is fine they are all much the same.

    Not this blue one.

    Has added folic acid. Don't want that.

    Not sure why you wouldn't want frolic acid but I should have said "all pretty much the same". No difference to a persons health which kind they go for. In fairness it is probably more important what goes on the bread than the bread itself.

    Nice, I hadn't seen this one. Pity it stopped at 5 years.

    This nicely sums up what I'd read about it in the last few years, their's still some issues with it, 10, 11 and 12, and I think the levels unmetabolised in the bloodstream.

    I don't know, I'd just be inclined to avoid something that has "85% of your daily intake in two slices" or whatever it says, of some cheap and nasty chemical added, slapped on the side of it when I can get it naturally once I don't live on a diet of McDonalds.

    Bake your own and throw a bit of organic flax seed in it.

    Maybe your Mum could make an appointment with a dietitian to review all of her diet? And the increased exercise will be hugely important also. Best of luck.

    +1. Dietician is key - Management is going to be about so much more than getting the right kind of brown bread. She needs to be able to enjoy a wide and varied (and interesting!) diet.
