[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2286318, member: 372717"] Ah, I used to love bran flakes, but they are very carby, and I don't deal with carbs nearly as well as I used to. Is this a new thing that they make your levels high? Some possible reasons I can think of are 1) you are becoming insulin resistant and need to review your bolus rates 2) any T2 in your family? Have you recently gained weight? Could be that it's hard for your body to deal with that many carbs. 3) Or maybe they've always spiked you but you never realised before because now you're using a cgm and can see the levels just after you eat.... If you want an easy low carb alternative then I am a big fan of unsweeetened full fat Greek yoghurt with berries (microwave frozen ones if you don't have fresh). And if you want to go higher carb, nutritionists always swear by porridge for T1s.... [/QUOTE]
