[QUOTE="AGC_68, post: 2523845, member: 551237"] Hey there [USER=406887]@centaur68[/USER] I use the Huel "Black", much higher in protein and lower in carbs than regular Huel. I add stuff to it make it taste better, almond oil, or orange oil, sugar free sweeteners, extra protein powder, cocoa nibs or cocoa powder, sometimes an egg (I'm not vegan). But that's because I'm fussy, food's gotta taste good! For me it works. I'd suggest you try it and track your morning FBG and post prandial BG for a while and see how it goes. My A1C is 40 (mmol/mol), it would be much lower if I wasn't taking statins. 40 in the UK is considered in the normal range, I'd like it lower but the statins are a must for me. I need them, familial hypercholesterolemia and family history of early heart attack related death on my dad's side, that plus the familial blood lipid issues makes it worth the higher A1C for me. But the Huel Black for me is good in terms of macros and BG levels. On days without statins, using Huel, my FBG the next day is always in the low 5s (UK measures in mmol/L). Give the Huel Black a go, track it and see what it does to your BGs. That's all I can suggest. Hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
