Hello Bluejeans,
I've got no idea whatsoever!
I'm not being flippant, I just don't worry about it. What I worry about is my diabetic nurse telling me not to test my bloods too often, because of NHS cuts!! Excuse me?
So on occassion, I may feel, if They don't care, why should I? Well I DO care, it's my body and I will try my best to behave myself.

That's what I was thinking.I have whatever I fancy for breakfast. It's not always a 'breakfast' food. If I'm not hungry I don't eat until I am hungry, so I may have brunch instead or skip breakfast altogether. I know that most people say you should always have breakfast, but it suits me and my body to skip it sometimes. We are all different aren't we?
Hi AnnieI find breakfast such a difficult meal I am never really hungry in the mornings so I force myself to eat something if not I probably would not eat until lunch time when I would mostly have cold chicken with salad
My breakfasts are mostly one slice of Burgen toast with an omlette or scrambled egg with ham and cheese a couple of times a week and cold meat or sardines mashed with vinegar and mayo with tomato and cucumber on other days I am now getting a bit bored with that. I don't like a fry up not even for lunch and I can't face berries and yogurt in the morning
Can't face anythig sweet in the mornings and grapefruit would certainly be out for me because I take statinsHi Annie
I am similar to you re. breakfast and am quite particular with what I can stomach. Are you more 'sweet' or savoury in the morning?
These are my usual breakfasts:
1/2 Grapefruit, Boiled Egg, Flax Crackers
1/2 Grapefruit, Slice Wholegrain Toast w/Butter & Ground Flax Seeds
Smoothie made w/Almond Milk, Banana, Raw Cacao
Burgen Toast w/Cheese & Tomato
Lately I've been experimenting with how much fruit I can tolerate in the one sitting as I feel I've been eating too much animal protein and not enough fruit/veg of late. Yesterday I had 1 Cup of Blueberries & Raspberries, slice rockmelon, evaporated milk and some macadamia nuts. 4.8 Before, 5.3 2 hrs after. Well happy with that
Isn't it important to eat something early to avoid the liver dump? Yesterday I didn't eat between breakfast and lunch and I went from 5 post prandial to 6.7 before lunch.That's what I was thinking.
@AnnieC Why have breakfast food if you are not hungry. surely it is unnecessary to force feed yourself. Or am I just bonkers.
As we all differ, would simple water solve this problem or as @Tweetypie suggest, a liquid, breakfast.Isn't it important to eat something early to avoid the liver dump? Yesterday I didn't eat between breakfast and lunch and I went from 5 post prandial to 6.7 before lunch.
Also, what does it mean if your 2 hour postprandial is less than your premeal BS? Is it because giving your body some glucose stops the liver producing it?
one of my favs, but I add a bit of tomato sauce as wellI find breakfast such a difficult meal I am never really hungry in the mornings so I force myself to eat something if not I probably would not eat until lunch time when I would mostly have cold chicken with salad

I had an omlette of smoked trout for tea tonight, I can't afford salmon this weekMy breakfast is always one of scrambled eggs and either sausage, bacon or smoked salmon, or I make an omlette and add onions, other veg or meats. A chorizo omlette is always a good thing!
