[QUOTE="mpe, post: 439503, member: 60109"] Unsweetened breakfast cereals tend to be some of the worst things for "hidden sugars". Total carbohydrates, which is what you need to be looking at on food labels, tend to be very high. Also the carbohydrates tend to be mostly amylose and amylopectin, which equate to 111.1% glucose. In addition skimmed milk contains virtually no fat to lower GI and considerably more lactose (52.5% glucose) compared with whole milk. Another potential problem is that some granulated sweetners use glucose based "bulking agents". A reading of 6.8 is still quite high, so you probably shouldn't have been "starving". Did you previously eat a high-carb diet, especially a high glucose one, like the NHS recommends? [/QUOTE]
