What do you have for your breakfast then I got told that weetabix is ok but my my blood sugar go up ??My best guess would be nothing. At a pinch, Irish/ Steel cut oatmeal might do more good than harm, but I won't be trying it again.
I suppose if it really has to be branded cereal, then all bran is very high fibre, and that might be something some people could try, but I *really* wouldn't recommend it coz the carbs must be off the scale!

What do you have for breakfast?? I’m at a lost as what to have I had poched egg this morning on a brown thin but can’t eat that every dayMost (dare I say all!) breakfast cereals are best avoided for Type 2's. They are usually sugar and carbohydrate packed bundles of poison. Far better to have some scrambled eggs.
Don’t think I could eat eggs without something with itMe? I don't eat breakfast just have 2 mugs of tea with lactofree milk when i get up then a coffee with double cream between 11 and 12.
I try to extend my overnight fast to give my insulin production a rest.
Why would a poached egg (or two) every morning be worse than some bland sugary cereal? Just ditch the bread.
But you could try and see? it will do you good.. or as I say have nothing at all?Don’t think I could eat eggs without something with it
That's what bacon and sausage are for...Don’t think I could eat eggs without something with it
What else could I have as don’t want eggs every dayThat's what bacon and sausage are for...
I have a slice of Burgen Soya and Linseed bread toasted with mine.
Don’t really want eggs every day what else could I have as I was told not to skip breakfastBut you could try and see? it will do you good.. or as I say have nothing at all?
Yes have blood sugar meter and to start off with my reading was 18.6 and have managed to get it down to lowest 9.6 but just want some ideas on what to eat especially breakfast as really struggling and can’t keep having eggs as playing my ibs up also snacks etc any advice I will be grateful fordo you have a blood sugar meter? You could test your levels before a meal, then 2 hours after to find out if that meal is Ok for your to eat. Paging @daisy1 as she has excellent advice for newcomers.
That is great progress. How long have you been testing for? it can sometimes take a few weeks or more for our levels to go down. I dont have breakfast myself. I have a mug of hot milk and a teaspoon of instant coffee in it, and thats it until lunchtime.Yes have blood sugar meter and to start off with my reading was 18.6 and have managed to get it down to lowest 9.6 but just want some ideas on what to eat especially breakfast as really struggling and can’t keep having eggs as playing my ibs up also snacks etc any advice I will be grateful for
