2 weetabix has around 26g carbs, the milk would add about 8g carbs so your breakfast would make my blood sugars go up.

GDA just means Guideline Daily amounts - the recommended amounts for a healthy person who is not diabetic. Because diabetics have a problem processing glucose (or sugars, made from the carbohydrate in the food) then these guidelines may be too high for some diabetics to have.

Thanks Lucylocket, weetabix have gone in bin, won't be having them again.

You could try having 1 for breakfast and see what happens?
