Not diagnosed yet, awaiting ablood test. But a typical breakfast for me is 2 Weetabix and skimmed milk, or 1 banana, or 1/4 bowl of muesli and Greek yoghurt with ginger. Plus 2 cups of Red Bush tea.
Can anyone tell me if this kind of breakfast is OK for me to carry on?
Hi @EllaRose71, those breakfasts are potentially quite high in carbohydrates - it would be worth calculating how many grams are in each choice. The 2 weetabix, although often recommended as 'healthy' would spike my blood sugar levels high, and very quickly. With the banana or muesli it would depend on size of banana/portion. Very ripe i.e. turning black bananas will spike levels faster than one that has just ripened. We are often more insulin-resistant in the mornings so some people find they have to steer clear of all carbs for breakfast, and go for something like scrambled eggs instead. The only way to know how you tolerate things is to test your blood sugar levels before and after eating, as described in Test,Review, Adjust by Alan S 🙂
