It was Safeway brand Bran Flakes. Sugars are at 5% alone. Sugar is third on the list and fructose is fifth on the list. The wheat should have raised my blood sugar. That's what's confusing me. My blood sugar goes down when I eat normally. The Coke isn't in my diet, of course, but it lowered my blood sugar, too.

I can eat certain fruits but they either have to be small or I can have just a portion of a whole.

So far, it hasn't been difficult at all to stay on the prescribed diet... except that it calls for more food than I'm used to consuming. My dr said I could eat only one thing listed for every meal but to not skip snacks. haha! If she only knew! Most times I go with only "lunch" or sometimes just "dinner". She read me the riot act about no breakfast.

How is it expensive if I hardly eat and I'm not on any meds yet, though?
