[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1072124, member: 221545"] Hey Thirsty...totally get your concern about waistline over the whole fried brekkie thing, but better to go up a size in trousers than to have diabetic complications you can avoid - no offence intended - and weetabix is a no-no. I was stunned when I first saw from my meter how much cereals caused my blood sugar to spike- should be a bleedin law against it, mate! I fail sometimes over the cereal thing, but my levels are not as high as yours...experiment. I don't think the 20 plus is emergency material, having had those kinds of readings when first diagnosed but they are still waaaaay to high. I am sure you will get that down to single figures but only if you are pretty strict and really cut out anything with a high carb content (ie, above 10g per 100g on the label). I struggled with breakfast more than any other meal. I would recommend M&S smoked cheese slices and dried bacon slices (both ) carbs...maybe an omelette...but abandon cereal and toast for sure - evil sugar demons dwell concealed in them in the guise of carbohydrates (but they will soon remove their friendly costumes inside the blood stream and give you grief). Experiment, test, record...and you'll soon have it under control. [/QUOTE]
