Hi - I am having high blood sugars three or four hours after eating muesli despite being in range beforehand. I know I'm counting the carbs properly so not sure what is going on - does anyone else have this problem? |

I've also found muesli quite difficult to assess. Rolled oats are lower in GI (Glycemic Index) than many other breakfast cereals. Which means that the body breaks the sugar down more slowly, so your sugar will be higher for a little longer. |

No normally have weetabix - just fancied something different. I think I'll look again as not keen enough on Muesli for all this hassle!! |

No you don't need to give up Muesli altogether - I have it often and its still possible to inject the right amount. Just need to be prepared for it to be slightly higher sugars for a little longer thats all |
