I generally eat low carb because it reduces the amount of insulin I need to use but if you're on fixed doses that's probably a moot point. I eat bran flakes or all-bran 2-3 times a week for breakfast (but I can adjust my insulin dose and if I get it right it makes absolutely zero difference to my peak BSL). I eat it for the fibre and also because cooking a hot breakfast every day of the week I find a PITA. I am not anti-carb (as my comments on here can attest to, haha) but I think you have to decide what works for you. Fibre actually helps my blood sugar levels in the long run and bran flakes have a decent amount of fibre. It's the milk that I have a problem with (unfortunately) so I have almond or soy milk -- I could dose to cover the cow milk but I'd rather not. On the days I don't have bran flakes I usually have psyllium husk dissolved in water just for the fibre</p></blockquote><p></p>
