[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1629992, member: 94045"] To be blunt, I am not at all surprised that your rose by nearly 6mmol/l after eating fruit (soft or otherwise), weetabix, plus 2 ryveta as a snack in the 2 hours following breakfast. I assume you probably had milk with the weetabix, and that is also high in sugar. You could try different carb-free breakfasts for a few days, just as an experiment to see the difference (with nothing but water in that 2 hour period). Eggs are a good start - cooked any which way, maybe some fried mushrooms or a mushroom and cheese omelette, or some cold meats, or cheese, in fact anything at all that has no carbs in it. Your meter will tell you that these are better choices. The idea is to test immediately before you eat and again 2 hours after first bite, and keep any rise from before to after under 2mmol/l and preferably less. More than this and there are more carbs in that meal that your body can tolerate. If you also keep a food diary including all ingredients and portion sizes, then record your levels alongside, you will see patterns emerge over time that will allow you to reduce the portion size or eliminate some of the carbs completely. It is clear from what you say about your levels and number of carbs eaten that you are eating far more than your personal tolerance level. (We all have different tolerance levels depending on many factors). [/QUOTE]
