[QUOTE="IanD, post: 24440, member: 6186"] I do start the day with porridge, though my wife says it contravenes the Trades Descriptions Act :D 1 desert spoon each oats, oat bran, wheat germ, wheat bran, soya protein, almonds, seeds + cinnamon, 2 chopped dried apricots 1 saccharine, 75 mg aspirin; I now use soya milk as cows' milk has significant sugar (carb content about 20 g.) Microwave 2 1/2 minutes, stir, then a further 1 1/2 minutes - watching now so it doesn't boil over. Fasting BS 5.5; BS after 1 hour may rise to about 10, but drops below 5.5 in 2 hours. When I had a low GI high carb diet, I was happy with these figures: Fasting BS 6.7; BS after 1 hour may rise to about 10, but drops to 7-8 in 2 hours. Early this year complications began, retina screening showed beginning of damage; leg pain seriously reduced my activity. The leg pain has now gone after 3 months reduced carb. Tiredness is greatly reduced, as is cholesterol & weight. [/QUOTE]
