Puffed wheat is a good cereal to try as it only has 0.3 grams of sugar per 15 grams cereal. You can always add some sweetener if you want. The only problem is supermarkets seem not to be stocking puffed wheat. I have been getting my supply from a small
Co-op but today I noticed they're clearing puffed wheat so I'll be stuck where to but it in the future.
The amount of sugar a cereal contains is only half the story.
You also need to look at the total carbs, which roughly translates into how much of the product which be broken down into
carbohydrates in the column.
Beside that it also matter what type of grain the product is made from. Oat & wheat are the least complex types of starch and will be broken down into carbs quickly, where as rye is possibly the slowest one.
Any manner of wheat cereal will have an inheritent high total carb content even without sugar, and will probably make your BS more spiky. Same goes for Cornflakes by the way, fast-release carbs.
Just a couple of things to consider.
