[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 1665819, member: 93504"] Just checked in the kitchen cupboard and the label on my pack of flax seeds says 1.6g carbs per 100g, so the amount you are likely to be adding to your breakfast is probably negligible in terms of carbs, so most unlikely to raise blood sugars. Can I suggest that you don't think in terms of some foods bringing blood sugars down, rather that certain foods put them up. The amount of carbohydrates (not the "of which sugars") is a very good guide to the effects of different foods, though some people react differently in different contexts. Looking at your breakfast, I would be more concerned about oats and agave syrup, especially the syrup, though you seem to be managing with these. I would suggest that the reading of 7.4 today was just one of life's little blips. Sally [/QUOTE]
