Honestly? None. Cereal contain grain, corn or rice, and those are all high in carbs. You're better off with bacon and eggs, a cheesy or salmon omelette, or full fat greek yoghurt with some berries or nuts.What are the best breakfast cereals with the lowest glycemic load please? New type two diabetic here
Yup. I really miss my Porridge or Museli or Cornflakes. I’ve had to recalibrate my expectations for brekkie. I now decide between Savoury or Sweet - that’s no sugar sweet!Honestly? None.
Hi @Lenno1978 ,
Welcome to the forum.
Putting aside the BG effects of cereal.
The lactose in the milk may not do favours either.
Are you prescribed any medication for your diabetes?
Almond milk contains some carbs too, and some have added sugar, so it does serve a purpose to check the nutritional information. Check total carbs, not just "of which sugars".I’m on metaformin 500mg x4 daily
I do t use milk I use almond milk
Shredded wheat is 67% carbohydrate. Not a great thing for any T2 to be eating.To answer the question, the more hole grain it is the better.
So thinks like Shredded wheat are not too bad, rough porridge.
Best to eat and test to see how it affects you, when i first started Shredded wheat didn't give me a glucose rise but Porridge did for example

Granted but they are very light hence 2 biscuits are about 38g of carbs plus about 10g of carbs in milk.Shredded wheat is 67% carbohydrate. Not a great thing for any T2 to be eating.
You have to test these things for yourself - I often don't eat 38gm of carbs in an entire day, as I am so sensitive to them.Granted but they are very light hence 2 biscuits are about 38g of carbs plus about 10g of carbs in milk.
I used to eat them every morning post diagnosis & they were always easy on the meter.

Way more than I'd want to have especially first thing in the morning plus they taste like cardboard.Granted but they are very light hence 2 biscuits are about 38g of carbs plus about 10g of carbs in milk.

Bacon and eggs taste so much better and as a Type 2 much better for me.Granted but they are very light hence 2 biscuits are about 38g of carbs plus about 10g of carbs in milk.
