Multi seed toast with 2 units of insulin job done. Bloods perfect. However just this once I fancied a change. I look in the cupboard and found my wife's Granola cereal.

The problem is 45g of granola in a bowl is about two mouthfuls!!! So I poured a real sized bowl and weighed it out so I could work out the insulin. My jaw dropped when it said 132g carbs!!!! Gutted. I poured it back in the pack and put the toaster on. After re reading the ingredients it read raw caster sugar, honey and glucose syrup!
