Ok or too much sugar

[Kaylz]

I was wanting to give honey greek yoghurt a go with strawberries and some chopped nuts a go for breakfast but now concerned that it's a little too much sugar x

Are you thinking of the yoghurt with honey already in it or are you going to add your own? If it has the honey already in it, look at the label and see how much is there and what percent it is. A few strawberries are usually OK and so are some nuts. There is enough fat in there to keep your blood glucose from going too high too quickly. Obviously if you were going to put your own honey in you will be able to judge what should be enough for you. If you are not trying to lose weight, then if you enjoy why not (in my opinion) and adjust your insulin accordingly. If you have not had this before it might be a good idea to write it all down, including tests before, 1 hour after, 2 hours after and maybe even 3. See how you react to it. You might find it is fine for you or not (excluding the natural erratic ism of BG and diabetes).

Will just be buying the pots of honey yoghurt, I will leave it for a bit though as I've been doing a lot of testing with foods the past couple of weeks so my fingers are feeling a little tender at the moment haha, thanks 🙂 x

I don't like honey all mixed in with Greek yog, to render it all sweet - I much prefer drizzling the surface of it with the teaspoon of honey, so as you eat it, you have the contrasting sweet and sour taste - some spoonfuls more sweet, some more sour - excellent contrast with 'proper' Greek sheeps milk yog. Drool!

And of course in Greece you only have say two heaped tablespoons of yog in your serving (In a dish no wider nor deeper than a silly little coffee saucer) at brekkie or as a dessert - not like you are offered a whole tub! And that way, is the way one is traditionally supposed to eat it. Later, yog served the same, but the honey came in those little individual oblong plastic containers, that you pull the top off to serve yourself - I wouldn't want a whole pot of it in mine.
