Thank you I will try that bread, I do miss eating bread as that was my usual go to as toast.
 
I do scrambled eggs in the microwave - 2 minutes for two eggs, light and fluffy and no pan to wash! 🙂 Another vote for Burgen Soya and Linseed bread! My favourite! 🙂
 
Mostly eggs or bacon, with Warburton /Kingsmill sandwich thin.
 
+1 for scrambled eggs, I love to do them in the wok.
It takes about 1-2 min and it's zero effort to clean if you keep the wok properly seasoned or use non-stick.

For a bit of variety these might be low enough carbs for some:
  • Thick yoghurt (or my new favourite Skyr) with a little fruit.
  • Mashed avocado/lemon on a small bit of toasted rye bread with a bit of smoked salmon (and maybe a poached egg).

For me, gliclazide worked pretty quickly to start with. 20mg was enough to give me my first ever hypo 2-3 hrs after I took it.
Now I take 40mg twice a day before meals (along with 1000mg Metformin) and my sugar is quite high a lot of the time.
 
I'm on Gliclazide, although I'm giving it a test break for a bit. It took a few days to get into my system and start working, but they did ok. Take it in the morning with my first Metformin. Gliclazide can cause hypos, so make sure you've got something with you in case you do get one. I didn't lose a lot of weight with them, but it did kind of come off pretty slowly.

Breakfast, I either have egg on toast with some bacon, or I have some granola with milk.
