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?

Depends on what you define as "flour"...I bake my own gluten free bread, it's made of equal parts buckwheat flour, cornstarch, wholegrain rice flour and a half part linseed flour + a ton of fiber husk. It does contain starch but for me this is balanced out by the other ingredients. I also like to make some " viking-bread" which ist mostly made of oats, seeds and nuts (no flour). Both are very tasty and do require some time for poofing/ chilling the dough whilst otherwise being fairly easy to make
