Lowish carb breakfast cereal

Thanks @grovesy. I’ve seen the weight loss programme he did on TV. It’s a good diet and I find if I stick to it I feel much better, particularly my mood. Getting 20 different vegetables a week can be a challenge but well worth it.
I thought he talked alot of sense. Much of what he said about people responding in differnt ways, is what is borne out here all the time.
 
Actually, I’ve relooked at psyllium husk carbs and it‘s around 89g carbs per 100g, so if you want a good couple of scoops to help with the fibre aspect, it knocks the overall carb total up a bit. However, you could partially substitute this with some ground almonds, as they too are a good source of fibre and I’ve read that they are good re cholesterol and they’re lower in carbs than psyllium husks.
 
This morning I had 45gms of Lidl’s Simply Sumptuous ‘Really Nutty’ muesli with some berries and half a banana. In addition, I had a slice of Burgen with a small rasher of bacon. My BG rise after 2 hours was 1.6. I know that we all react differently but for those missing cereal, might be worth trying.

Is the 1.6 a typo?
 
Sorry for any confusion but I’m not sure what your question means. I was 7.8 before breakfast and 9.4 after 2 hours. Is that not a rise of 1.6?
 
Sorry I read that was your reading after 2 hours,
No problems, grovesy, you had me thinking I was on the wrong tack with monitoring or was misinterpreting the chart.
