Diabetes weetabix nutritional information- How many calories does it have?

I am no expert on this. But I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes and I keeping a close eye on GI of all the carbs that I consume. And I feel sorry to inform you that your favourite bf Weetabix falls into the high GI category and I feel it would be better for your health if you avoid it completely. If you can’t do that, then why don’t try taking just 1 Weetabix and see if you get desired results. Good luck.

 

I am sorry to second ... in this case because you are absolutely right with the info. I don’t see any stark difference between different breakfast cereals that can be bought off shelves. Whenever you choose a product and you intend to keep your blood glucose level normal, then you should first check for the nutritional information given behind the pack. And I must say it is pretty much the same (approx. 70g carb per 100g), which is very high and in turn shoots up your blood glucose level. You should see how fast a food item can increase you BG levels rather than thinking of by “how much” it can. Hope this helps!Try and find better alternatives.

 

Could you please elaborate more on GI levels? I do not have a clear cut idea about them. Hope you can give me some more info. Thanks in advance.

 

GI can be expanded as glycaemic index. It is a number related with carbs in a particular food type, which in turn indicates the effects of these carbs on an individual’s blood glucose level. In simple terms it means how fast carbs in your food breaks down and converts to glucose in the blood. This breaking down effects how fast your glucose levels in the blood spikes and in turn affects your BG results. I wouldn’t say all bran is bad. You can choose the ones which have complex carbs i.e. the carbs that break down slowly and do not spike your blood glucose levels fast.

 

I too used to and still love my Weetabix plastered in sugar. I tried it once by replacing sugar with canderel after I was diagnosed as diabetic, thinking the replacement would make all the difference. But when I did the test, my eyes popped out seeing its results. It was too high!!! I have kept myself away from Weetabix ever since; not just Weetabix, all other bf cereals as well because they are all high GIs. I think you should quit too.

 

Breakfast cereals, potatoes, rice, cakes, breads and biscuits are a few products that diabetics should strictly avoid. Read the labels and the nutritional information carefully before buying any product. If still in doubt, check with your doctor if it is good for your blood glucose or not. Rolled oats are still a better option. I don’t know why people have breakfast cereals. It actually doesn’t do any good to you. It spikes you BG levels in the morning, provides you with instant energy but makes you feel sluggish later on. Not just the diabetics, I would not suggest breakfast cereal to any one not even the kids.

 

Ultimately Weetabix is a great cereal to have for breakfast. It is low in salt and sugar one biscuit contains one-hundredth of a teaspoon of salt. It can absolutely be eaten in a balanced and healthy diet.

 

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I truly appreciate your efforts and I will be waiting for your further write ups thanks once again.

 

in the last 2 days i have had extra money added to the price of a gift card for a buy it now when there is no tax or shipping fee when you checkout. the first time they said it was there fault and would refund the difference. today it happened again. is anybody else having this issue?

thanks
