    Fibre supplements

    I don't get enough fibre either. I'm going to start taking vitafibre. It's available from myprotein. Only 30 calories a serving but has 14g of fibre in it which should help bump me up to what I'm supposed to be getting.

    Yeah I need more insulin in the morning than I would for the same amount of carbs later in the day. No exercise really before the milk and cookie - I sound like a child haha - but I know I only need one unit for it. I just double checked it and it is actually 35G of carbs not 25G. Even more mad.

One. 25G of carbs for the milk and cookie. 5.2 before I ate it, 5.7 an hour later. So weird because if I was to have...
