[QUOTE="azure, post: 835294, member: 39639"] My sugars are a pain in the morning too. I'm on a pump and the morning is my highest basal rate. I also find that if I have a late breakfast that can mess things up too. But I do have cereal practically every day. I find a granola type works best, maybe because it has a bit of fat in. I usually mix that with some All Bran, and the fibre helps too. I have a total of 60g weight of cereal plus full fat milk. I do have to have a higher insulin to carbs ratio than later on in the day, but trial and error has taught me what dose to have, and now my blood sugars don't spike too much. Before breakfast, my blood sugar was 5.0 this morning and 2hrs after breakfast, it was 5.9. I also inject a while before I eat breakfast to give the insulin a chance to get going. I know porridge is supposed to be low GI but I find it puts my sugars up faster than my normal cereal. [/QUOTE]
