My husband can go all day with hardly any carbs but come 10 PM and he turns into a bottomless pit. It used to be the lony thing that filled him and stopped the hunger was cereal & milk w\/ splenda.<\/p>\n

Now that he has begun treatment for his long standing T2 I have been learning all I can about care and feeding (he is learning along with me, too) but I somehow overlooked how tricky the packagers of commercial cereals can be.<\/p>\n

WheatChex:
\nserving size 3\/4 cup (47g)
\nCarb 38g
\nFiber 5g
\nSugars 5g
\nProtein 5g
\n———————————————–
\nSo, thinking I might be choosing the lesser of two evils, I bought All-Bran Original
\nserving size 1\/2 (31g)
\nCarb 23g
\nfiber 10g
\nsugars 6
\nProtein 4g
\n———————————————–<\/p>\n

Looking closer and taking some time to digest things, they would probably come out the same if I used the same serving size for comparison – EXCEPT for that 10g fiber.<\/p>\n

Would that make it safer to eat?<\/p>\n

What can he eat to stop the hungries? <\/p>\n

Dinner BG 132
\n2hr later 161<\/p>\n

Dinner was Great Northern beans and spinach, diet soda and 5 ritz crackers (10g carb).<\/p>\n

He took 32 units Lantus this morning.
\nWaking BG 129
\n2 hrs later 150 after 2 scrambled eggs with ham, green onion and a feather of cheese – o carbs<\/p>\n

We have been at this since Nov 20th. Started at 10 units Lantus. His BG does best when we eat beans, can’t we just go with that? But not for late nite snack. Help, please.<\/p>\n

Kind regards,
