[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 328392, member: 21149"] Hi Red96. Although muesli contains carbs and therefore you need to be aware of that, nothing is forbidden with diabetes but your overall daily carb intake will affect your blood sugar. I have homemade muesli for breakfast but keep the quantity small. I think it was Sid Bonkers on this forum a while back who said that if you can't hold it in a cupped hand then it's probably too big. I also have egg and bacon as well. Although the media is very anti fats, salt etc, with diabetes you need to think more broadly on the basis that diabetes can be defined as an intolerance of glucose that varies widely from person to person. Fats aren't a big problem for us as it's a good way of obtaining calories without high levels of glucose at the end. Unsaturated fats are, of course, the best. Have low-GI carbs where you can as these are absorbed slowly so you avoid sugar spikes. This means avoiding white flour-based products and going for wholemeal or multigrain flour. Foods such as beans and lentils are good as they are carbs with lots of good fibre. [/QUOTE]
