I'd say that's a result with the Salted Caramel Peanut snack for breakfast.

2hrs after snack 6.9 mmol/l

Those salted caramel bars will do me in - they taste so, so good! I can easily see myself eating a whole box full on a bad day.

Bacon sarnie
Omelette
Egg, bacon and mushrooms
Beans on toast
Croissants (the Tesco ones are roughly 20g carb each and don't spike me)
Ham and cheese or cheese and tomato toastie

'On the go' breakfasts aren't easy, especially if you're looking for something that doesn't take any preparation. I second the Nature Valley Protein bars. I've also cooked up some high meat content sausages the day before & had them cold 'on the go'. Do a batch the day before & they can last a few days. We are more insulin resistant in the morning. Those Bevita biscuits may be fine later in the day, but spike you first thing.

Being a carnivore Mark, I really like the sausage idea. Definitely on my ToDo list when I get back.
