Hi,

Since being diagnosed 3 weeks ago I have being testing out breakfasts to see which ones spike my blood. I have tried shredded wheat with skimmed milk (which I loved) , smoothies made with almond milk (didn't like them), porridge made with a skimmed milk and water mix (loved it). I don't add sugar or fruit but with everything I liked it spiked my blood from 9.1 to 14 or 16. what am I doing wrong?
I am fairly open to trying new things except cooked breakfast, I prefer something simple and quick to make.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a low carb, low fat breakfast that I could try as all of my favourites are now out of the question.
Thanks in advance

I am really glad you posted this question Dawn, I have gained some good ideas from the replies.

Because is season, you could try and switch the porridge with fresh plums: they have a low GI (35) and 11g of carbohydrates for 100 g. With whole milk yoghurt you can slice them, and eat with the yoghurt. And of course an espresso. That was my actual brekfast today --

You mean, "And of course a cup of tea." 😉
