I am not big breakfast person so I would stick to small bowl cereal and slice toast.Hi @Bridie9408. I usually change my go to breakfast every couple of months, purely out of boredom.
As for cereals my faves are granola and oats. The trick I find with cereals is pre bolusing, usually a good 45 mins for me. This can be awkward on work days.
Every Saturday is full English breakfast day, toast , beans, hash browns or whatever is on the menu depending on where we eat.
Other breakfast options for me are 2 boiled eggs and toast or my current favourite is...... avocado, banana, peanut butter, flax or hemp seeds and milk. All blended together and left overnight in the fridge. Makes for a very thick smoothie that has a minimum spike, requires only a small pre bolus and keeps me going for upto 5 hrs.
How much insulin do you take for this? Weetabix spikes me into the mid teens an hour or so after eating, but within another hour to an hour and a half im under 5 mmol. This is sometimes without insulin as well.I have 3 weetabix and peanut butter, plus a piece of fruit. Considering getting rid of one or two of the weetabix to swap out for a yoghurt.
Sometimes I have toast and hot breakfast eg eggs, tomato, bacon etc instead.
I have granola with a few tbs Greek yogurt and a handful of blueberries almost every morning (45g carbs). I couldn't do low carb personally, but this doesn't make me spikeHi do any type 1diabetics have any breakfast cereal or do yous stick with low carb.
Duck eggs no way quack quack.A very large boiled egg with a half slice of homemade bread cut into fingers and fried in garlic infused olive oil.
Has anyone tried duck eggs?
I haven't had them for years as it was our fish shop that used to get them in and they closed down! They are lovely but much stronger and richer than a hens egg if that's what you were wondering? xxHas anyone tried duck eggs?
