I know this will seem sacriligeous to most of you, but my mom had some blood tests and they are showing elevated glucose, pre-diabetes level of things. She already eats very healthily, nothing processed, no red meat, lots of salads and grains, only whole grain pasta/bread/rice... so it seems that the onlu option for how is to go on a low-carb diet.

She says that the hardest for her would be to stop eating bread. I am wondering if there is any way to make something that can be close to a loafy bread, but without flour. Is there such a thing?

Some sourdough may be ok for her. My brother's doctor recommended that for his diabetes over non-flour keto options. It just has to be real sourdough, not the stuff that's commonly sold in grocery stores.
