Diabetes Friendly Cereal
By David of @type1livabetic
One of the most common things I hear, as well as experience, is that people with Diabetes, whether Type 1 (like myself) or Type 2, have a hard time eating certain foods, such as pizza, Chinese food, and CEREAL! Don’t get me wrong, we can in fact eat anything we’d like in moderation and with the appropriate amount of insulin/medication, however, these are just some of the foods that don’t necessarily cooperate with our blood sugar levels, causing them to skyrocket up into a dangerous level.
WELL, thanks to Three Wishes Cereal, people living with Diabetes can now enjoy cereal once again! What makes Three Wishes Cereal different from the leading sugary cereal brands? It just so happens that Three Wishes Cereal is a low-glycemic, plant-based cereal alternative that works so much better with a person’s blood sugar levels. The use of clean ingredients, as well as using only what is needed, and none of what is not, is what makes Three Wishes Cereal an ideal alternative for those living with Diabetes.
Though I can in fact eat any cereal brand I’d like, eating Three Wishes Cereal early in the morning, or even as a midnight snack (which almost no one with Diabetes would ever dare do), has been less of a worry and more of an enjoyable bowl of delicious cereal. I now prefer this cereal over any other kind, simply due to my plant-based, low-carb lifestyle that I personally choose to eat, not that I am required to, but this is just what I prefer! Three Wishes Cereal has been a huge game changer for me, as now I have the confidence in knowing what I am eating, how it will affect my blood sugar, and that my tummy will be happy!
My go-to flavors of the Three Wishes Cereal brand, though I love them all, is cinnamon and honey. I particularly love how the “honey” flavor does not actually contain honey, as that goes against my vegan way of living, however, the flavor? SPOT ON (from what I remember)!
Being Type 1, I have had my fair share of low carb, sugar-free alternatives for certain foods, but they all tasted simply fake. When I tried Three Wishes Cereal, I was blown away at how accurate the taste and texture was, as well as how truly low carb and clean the ingredients were. My Diabetes was happy with the end result hours later! Now if we can only find an alternative as great as Three Wishes Cereal, but for pizza… still working on that blood sugar battle.
I enjoy eating my Three Wishes Cereal none other than a classic cereal and milk combo, however, I like to use a very low carb, plant milk, such as almond, soy, or oat, and dig right in, of course after taking my insulin! Three Wishes Cereal has given me the confidence back in eating certain foods that I once knew and loved, such as cereal. It may not seem like a big deal, but for me, and just about anyone else walking in the same shoes as me, brands like Three Wishes Cereal truly means the world and more. Diabetes can already be very isolating and limiting, so when a company creates a product that may not even be purely for the sake of benefitting one’s blood sugars, but rather creating a healthy alternative in general, and having it also be beneficial to people of a particular group, such as those living with Diabetes, it is recognized and very much appreciated, so thank you, Three Wishes Cereal!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I am off to pour myself a bowl of cereal!
