For years I’ve enjoyed a breakfast cocktail consisting of yogurt, peanut butter, and a high fiber cereal. Since my recent diagnosis, I’ve been trying to eliminate as much sugar as possible from my diet. Today I tried a serving of Fiber One cereal to see what affect it would have on my blood glucose level. Fiber One seems to be a good candidate since it has 0 grams of sugar listed on the nutrition label. Having said that, one 3/4 cup serving still contains 34 grams of carbohydrates. As of late, I’ve typically consumed 15 carbs or so during meals so I’m expecting a spike in my reading but I’m curious to see how high my blood glucose reading will go since this cereal does boast a whopping 18 grams of dietary fiber. This morning I enjoyed this cereal with some unsweetened almond milk.

| Fiber One contains the most fiber of any cereal that I can find at my local grocery stores. If you are needing to add fiber to your diet this is a great option. |
Does it taste like cardboard?
Not at all! If you judge this cereal by it’s looks alone, you would think you are about to eat livestock feed and that if there is a flavor, it will be along the lines of notebook paper or cardboard. This has not been the case with Fiber One. It has a sweet flavor that would rival any of its sugar drenched counterparts. Because of its texture and density, you get a lot of cereal in a 3/4 cup serving when compared to other puffed up cereals that are filled with air. When I ate it, I didn’t feel overfilled while at the same time, I was no longer hungry.
