[QUOTE="woodywhippet61, post: 1608750, member: 418778"] The best thing that I did was get a meter and start to test. In my case I opted for a Libre (it's cost is minor compared to the amount I used to spend on wine). Basically you test before eating and note your blood glucose level (bgl), then you eat your meal and then 2 hours after eating you test again to see what your bgl is. So you see what effect that food has on your bgl. Then you get to make the decision about what to eat and what not to. Personally I changed to a low carb diet. I have not eaten breakfast for decades so just carried on not eating breakfast. But if I was eating breakfast then it would be eggs, bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms. No fried bread. I've never believed that beans and hash browns have anything to do with a full english.:) Also for breakfast some berries and full fat greek yoghurt. [/QUOTE]
