All Carbohydrates are digested into glucose, so the Weetabix the milk  any sugar plus the sugars in the Blueberries (one of the highest carb of all the berries) will combine to raise your BG levels at a time when most of us are at our most carb intolerant.But we all tend to process carbs differently from each other (unique genes and gut biome). So it's a good idea to use your BG meter to measure how well your body processes the meals you eat. Test your BG just before eating and then again 2hrs later (2hrs after first bite). What we aim for is to have the increase (aka spike) from the first to the second reading of not more than 2.0 mmol. If it is 2 mmol or less then you body probably handles that meal OKIf it is higher then perhaps you can reduce portions or substitute something with fewer carbohydrates.For breakfast eggs (no bread/toast) makes a good start t the day, having almost zero carbs and a good ratio of proteins to fats.</blockquote>
