[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 128310, member: 12578"] The glycemic index ranks how fast (and high) blood sugar rises after a meal. The higher the number, the more effect it is likely to have on your blood glucose. Pure glucose has a gi of 100. When shredded wheat was tested on a group of Canadian diabetics it had a gi of 83 which is very high (very near to ordinary cornflakes in the same test). The breakfast cereal with the lowest gi on that test was All Bran. Nigels suggestions might help lower it at bit. Porridges vary, and can be low gi; try to choose one thats not too fine,(jumbo oats) as with the last post adding a few berries and some nuts which can help lower gi. Take care to weigh the portion and [b]test[/b] Many people do have problems with breakfast, there are lots of posts on it. [/QUOTE]
