[QUOTE="BaliRob, post: 1552800, member: 36236"] As my eyes are so blurred as I write this and it is 2 hours after eating an average helping of Wheat Biscuits (Australian and identical to Wheatabix and Wheat-bix) I checked my sugars and found that I had hit 14.4 !!! So I checked the Nutrition Information and found as follows:- Av serving 2 biscuits Carbs 26.6gm - Av Quantity per 100gms 66.4gm - BOTH dry. Av with semi-skimmed milk (0.5 cup 125ml) 26.9gm. SUGAR in the order as given = 0.9gm ; 2.8gm ; 7.2gm. For the whole of my life (except during the War when only porridge was available) I have had the above wheat products. Tell me please what to do - is porridge ok? One poster mentioned scrambled egg on toast but the bread would raise my sugars. Anybody have knowledge whether Korean pears (round not the heart-shaped found in the UK) but not sweet are suitable for us? I remember some years ago a poster telling us that an apple would send his blood sky rocketing. Also I found the poster who said that vegetables raised his bs disturbing because I recently stopped eating potatoes and replaced them with larger helpings of mixed vegetables (frozen) and boiled chicken thighs with legs attached. Any advice would be gratefully received - no berries or other exotic foods please - this is Indonesia. [/QUOTE]
