[QUOTE="wednesburystokie, post: 749022, member: 152161"] Hi Ladies and gents, I'm quite newly diagnosed, around a month ago where my blood sugar was around 22. I'm controlling it in moderation now with medication and diet and have been told the priority is obviously to get my blood sugar down. I've never been a big breakfast eater, but due to my condition (T2 by the way) i've started to have one shredded wheat for breakfast so i can take my tablets, over the last few days just before lunchtime i have been experiencing Hypo's which, i must admit scared the life out of me at first as i had 'get this blood sugar down' drummed into me without much discussion as to what do do if it dropped too low. I've managed to control them through a couple of rich tea biscuits followed by a sandwich. My question really is am i having the right thing for breakfast if, a few hours later my BS is causing me a problem, I don't have a lot of time to prepare breakfast so a suggestion of an alternative cereal or another quick and easy fix would be appreciated. My next question is in relation to my work, i am a football photographer, and sometimes can be at the ground all day, the usual fayre of pies, burgers etc is not the best choice, and usually just take a few sandwiches ( on burgen bread) and there is no real option of having anything warm. I know i can't be the only one out there who has these issues so was just wondering what anyone else takes to eat for a full day away from home. I've armed myself with a few packets of dextrasol now for away games in case a hypo should hit again. Sorry to have bored the pants off you all. Dave. [/QUOTE]
