What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

I had the same experience with oatmeal!
 
Like many on here I have completely cut out any form of cereals for my breakfast. I was advised by my diabetic nurse to bulk up on cereal particularly oats and/or Weetabix as apparently slow release and eliminates desire to snack. Well I don't really snack much anyway except say late at night.
For years my hb1ac never went down but since taking advice on here I have ditched the cereal in favour of low carb choices (can't believe I can eat plenty of bacon and egg instead of porridge gruel) and my readings are finally showing signs of reducing. On top of that I now enjoy breakfast instead of tolerating it.
For me at least oats and cereals just proved to be devil's food.
I hope the change works for you
