    What breakfast cereal spikes sugars

    Since I've started on this forum I've tried so many new foods that others have recommended so I will have to give these a try!

    What breakfast cereal spikes sugars

    Personally I wouldn't calculate the GI of foods in that way, I think it's much more accurate to just google the product or get a hand book. I think you'll find that the GI of rice krispies is 82, which is considerably high when the index only goes up to 100.

    Should type 1s stick to low carb??

    Wow!! No one at the hospital or anything has mentioned anything about low carb and I've been diabetic for nearly 14 years believing carbs are the way forward:/ I might give it a go! My blood sugars are up and down quite a lot, particularly after food because it's really hard to do the right...

    talking about diabetes at work

    I'm actually quite proud of mine really! I don't mind telling people at all:) I do feel quite awkward and different though when people ask you to try things or 'just have a little taste' when you can't :/

    Should type 1s stick to low carb??

    Hiya I'm type 1 and I'm just wondering if I'm supposed to be eating a low carb diet? If so why has no one mentioned low carb before? I was under the impression that I could eat as much carb as I like as long as I carb count and inject?! Thanks
