Hi I am T2 on mets and insulin. This morning before b'fast, my reading was 9.2. At b'fast at 9.15am, I had 1 Weetabix, with sprinkle of raw oats and cup of tea with toast and small spread of marmalade. Now at 11am, my reading is 19.4. Should I worry? I take Novorapid and Humulin.
Advice please

As a one off, not too much, but you shouldn't let this happen regularly.
How much insulin did you take for this, you actually have quite a lot of carbohydrate there?

I am not an insulin user, but I would think a slice of toast with the correct insulin dose would do you no harm at all, so maybe it is your insulin doses that need a re-think? Sadly, as a T2 without any medication, toast is out for me other than half a Lidl High Protein roll, which I can cope with. Have you tried these? About 5g carbs per half a roll. As for weetabix, marmalade etc. I can also forget those.
I have tried lidl protein roll and it is closest thing to bread I have found in lower carb things I have tried. 1 roll is 9g of carb so if factored into my 50g or less of carbs a day. I am right in thinking I can have 1 everyday?

It's not a matter of what you can or can't have its what is advisable and what is not and what determines that is what your glucose meter tells you.
I would think that if you factor it in to your daily total and it doesn't spike your BG then it's up to you it wont affect your diet over all.
