considering my first ever fasting blood was 7.9, 2nd one was when they confirmed the diagnosis which was 8.4 and now the first I do myself is way up higher. There was me too trying to kid myself on that this diabetes diagnosis was probably wrong!! Alas it is not to be. Hey ho that's the denial done with, now to getting on top of these readings and finding out what my body is doing to me. Going to work armed and ready to test.
I would say that the Shreddies were your problem, unfortunately. Most cereals, however 'healthy' they may be portrayed, are usually not a good choice for people with diabetes. They are usually high carb, and contrary to advertising, often hit the system quite quickly. I used to think Weetabix were good for you (and I love them!), but was shocked to see how quickly they raised my blood sugar levels
Don't despair though, you have already gained some valuable information about what Shreddies do to you. This is what testing is all about, so you can learn what you tolerate well and what you don't. 🙂
Some people are OK with porridge, others not. In the mornings you are often more insulin resistant so a lot of people try to keep carbs at a minimum at that time of day. I think I remember someone saying that Lizzie's Granola is OK, or perhaps you could try some plain yoghurt with berries and nuts?
