Some Type 2 breakfast info / advice please......

[MickyF]

Hi,

Am new to Diabetes and to the forum and would be grateful for any opinions re the below which I have been having for breakfast hoping it is good for my Type 2 and High Cholesterol. I haven't had my DESMOND Day or started self-testing as yet (and realise that will also be an accurate guide) so any info in the meantime would be most appreciated

Quaker Oats - Oat So Simple Original (sachet) Porridge

Servings: 27 g 1 g 1 container (324 gs ea.) Calories 98 Sodium 0 mg
Total Fat 2 g Potassium 0 mg
Saturated 0 g Total Carbs 16 g
Polyunsaturated 0 g Dietary Fiber 3 g
Monounsaturated 0 g Sugars 0 g

Cholesterol 0 mg

I am having this with skimmed milk and also add the following

Handful of Diced Almond or Walnuts
Handful of Mixed Seed
Some Ground Cinnamon
Spoon of Milled Flaxseed
Spoon of Benefiber (powdered Fibre)

Many thanks

When I tried Oat So Simple Original with wrecked milk I got a leaning toward a high reading, but with whole milk the readings are far more acceptable.
