Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neohdiver" data-source="post: 1081299" data-attributes="member: 258692">The labeling is definitely US - FDA, not Atkins.  The advice to subtract half the fiber, not so much a US thing - as far as I know (that may be specific to Atkins).  I subtract all fiber (because my meter is happy with net carbs - which I believe is equivalent to UK labeling).But (generally) I concur with the advice above - ditch the breakfast cereal.  I'm currently battling an itty bitty thyroid pill for control of my morning BG.  Not interested in adding carbs to an already intransigent dawn phenomenon that lasts until mid-morning.  I'm dreading my fasting BG test tomorrow - I know when I wake up it will be around 85, but when I walk into the doctor's office later (after a shower) it will almost certainly be in the prediabetes range - if not the diabetes range.</blockquote>
