Hmm.. I feel as if I should have known that. In general, I do try to eat only whole grains. Bye bye instant oats...
I have made a switch to making granola (with rolled oats). It's a lot easier to eat on summer mornings than hot cereal. I bake it with apple sauce and molasses to sweeten it some, but mostly I eat it with fruit which helps sweeten it enough. I mix it with 1.5% plain white yogurt (it has my country's diabetics society seal of approval on it).
I've been trying eat eggs and other things for breakfast, but I just can't seem to go without something sweet in the morning.
