Breakfast and High glucose levels

Well, for the last week or so, I have been trying a much more low carb beakfast in order to try and minimize High glucose levels 2 or 3 hours after breakfast.
Cereal is tough to overcome in the morning (even cheerios). I have been using a low carb cereal called Hi-Low. High fiber and Low carb. 13grams per serving and very little milk. I am shooting for 20-25 carbs instead of the normal 40 -45. It seems to be working so far, however I am still spiking after breakfast, just not as much.
It helps a lot when i can exercise in the morning as I find that the insulin works better and faster.

Trial and error is a daily thing in the life of a diabetic. Adjust and test, adjust and test, adjust and test, ....and so on......

Keep going, ....Peace, Bob
