It seems to respond well to a 2 hour 200% TBR.<br /><br />And you are right about Weetabix being unusual - goes through me like rocket fuel! Glad it works for you though :)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868706401223371920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932842985778393321.post-81506715616519824672012-04-16T01:57:55.708+01:002012-04-16T01:57:55.708+01:00Breakfast is the nightmare for me too!

The pump was my saving grace - The only cereal that really seems to work for me is weetabix, which is strange because I know loads of people find it terrible. The pump really helps me here - I do 3units for it, but I put it in as a1hr dual wave - 40% straight in Beeing Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440190302310025656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932842985778393321.post-75360721478645886032012-01-18T20:14:07.322+00:002012-01-18T20:14:07.322+00:00yay! and i find oatmeal magical in the mornings as...yay! and i find oatmeal magical in the mornings as well, for the bgs anyways. :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389672426152872555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932842985778393321.post-17555757236163016172012-01-18T17:09:16.075+00:002012-01-18T17:09:16.075+00:00yeah no too worried about it right now since HBA1C...yeah no too worried about it right now since HBA1C 6.3 so its just more annoying than anything else.
