Hi, can I ask what the issue is with weetabix/ cereals? Admittedly, I too go very high after breakfast, sometimes staying high for a while. I vary between porridge, fruit 'n fibre, mini weetabix and weetabix (I usually have the latter if I wake up on a high reading). Is it more to do with ratios or not? Thanks
Tried them for first time since having meter, up from 5.3 to 15.9 2 hours after eating! Oops!
Point taken, thanks for that.Asa - most of those responding here don't use insulin to control their blood sugars so have to really take heed of their meter readings and control diet.
For a T1, I wouldn't like to comment on what you could do to manage the spikes better, but another T1 might be able to help.

Are you sure .... like two hours later? I know we're all different but you'd be the first in my experience to be like that.I have weetabix every morning doesn't affect my BG levels at all. ??
Full of Carbostiens! But now yah know. Now, look on the packaging WBix for the % Carbs and Sugars. I’m real glad you’re here. This much support on diets. I’m Type 2, what are you? And do you any recent HBA1C? I’ve gone from 89 down to 46.14.8 so no more for me
Yay for using a meter! That thing is going to be worth it's weight in gold, and then some. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/ might help you avoid spikes like that in the future.Hi I had 2 Weetabix today and my readings went up to 14.8 so no more for me
I’m type 2 but I can’t find any medication to take as everything I take gives me diarrhoea and headaches I also have multiple sclerosis so identifying the 2 symptoms of both is impossible to tell what Symptoms go with whatFull of Carbostiens!

People are here to offer support and advice.
You're responding to a pretty old thread that's been momentarily revived, maybe you want to start your own to get some help?
