I joined this forum a few weeks ago, after being diagnosed with diabetes. I've started using my Freestyle Libre 2 yesterday and I'm learning to read my BG. This morning, after breakfast having eaten my favourite Alpen cereal, I was shocked to see a spike on my Libre (21.3).

The pack does say 'no added sugar' and my BG shot up!

I'm slim but I LOVE eating because I'm always hungry. I'm a sweet-toothed, especially chocolate.

But, can anyone please suggest the best cereal to eat without spiking?

Thank you

All cereals are a bit of a problem. I'm type 1 and I find if I inject 30 minutes before eating breakfast, it manages the spike.
 
In my cupboard I have wheetabix, cornflakes and nutty granola. I don't have any of these on a regular basis but like the choices. What I tend to do is have a bowl of one of those choices whenever I fancy something filling and tasty. It would be different if I had them for breakfast every day, so I don't count them
