Weetabix V mini shredded wheat

Hia

I've been very careful with my food since having complications with my Diabetes (T1 for 13 years) but I am now a bit bored with eating 1 weetabix every morning. Can someone advise me if I measure out 10g worth of carbs equivalent of mini shredded wheat should that have the same effect on my blood sugars?

The reason I ask is that I notice there is sugar in weetabix. Thinking about it rationally if the carb content of both bowls are the same it should be ok - maybe better with the shredded wheat as I won't see a spike as I currently do?

Sorry if this seems a daft question I just need to get my confidence back and am still scared of going hypo.

Thanks

Hello again

Thanks very much for replying. I must be having a bad day though as I still don't get it!

On my sheet 1 weetabix weighing 20g equals 14g carbs. My main query is that weetabix contains sugar as part if it's total carb count. 14g carbs of shredded wheat will be the same amount of carbs but with no sugar - do I need to take this into account when deciding how much insulin.

Yes thanks

Brill forum - glad I found it.
