I was really disappointed although not surprised when trying weetabix this morning.
I'm not a fan of them but thought i'd buy three boxes of cereal to test as i'm tired of how cutting carbs+meds+IBS is making me feel.
After 1 hour- I had to use Almond milk as my usual soya wasn't available- I was a shocking 8.8.
What were your levels after 2 hours Shy? I wouldnt worry at all about 1 hour spikes as even non diabetics will have highs at 1 hour, its how your levels are returning after 2 hours that is more important.
If your still too high after 2 hours then try reducing the amount, one biscuit instead of two perhaps, you didnt post how many weetabix you ate so if it was only one then thats obviously not an option.
I wouldnt want to eat the sort of low carb diets I read that many eat here, as I enjoy food, all food, carbs included, I eat low carb just by exercising portion control so I actually eat a 'normal' diet, and I use the word 'normal' as in what I have always eaten, just fewer carbs, so 2 or 3 new potatoes instead of 7 or 8, two tbls of basmati rice instead of a plateful, works well for me :thumbup:
