Well it's a good job you don't like porridge because that is likely to raise your blood sugar levels!
Not liking eggs is a shame because they make a good staple breakfast and lunch. What about a full fat Greek yogurt (Fage is a nice one) with 3 strawberries chopped up and mixed in, or half a dozen raspberries. Or even just a coffee with double cream and no food. Or think outside the box and eat foods not normally associated with breakfast such as cold meats, cheese, a tomato. Same sort of things at lunch time - maybe a small tin of salmon with a few cherry toms and some cheese and salad stuff.
I’m slightly concerned how much you know about the carb issue too seeing as you mentioned porridge as an option you considered. Have you seen this? http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/basic-information-for-newly-diagnosed-diabetics.26870/. Do you know to avoid/limit carbs of all types not just sugar and “white” ones?Thanks for that,
As i don't have things left from the evening usually because my wife is doing slimming world so she takes any leftovers to work with her, the cold meats etc sounds a good idea as i like those things quite a lot.
The wholemeal/brown versions of bread, rice and pasta are generally just as bad for a Type 2 as the white variants I'm afraid.Yes i know about the white carb types, I've always preferred wholemeal over white bread, wholegrain rice etc.
Hate to break it to you, but carb colour doesn't matter for a T2; you will have to process them sooner or later. For us, a carb is a carb... (A T1 adjusts insulin to account for carb intake. T1 and T2, and the many other brands of diabetes, are all different conditions.).Hi,

The slimming world group leader for her is type 1 diabetic and has said its an ok one for diatetcs.
Thanks

https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/recipes/breakfasts/egg-free these might help. Full fat greek yoghurt with some berries could work (I like to add coconut shavings, yum!), or some avocado, sour cream and salmon? A quick tuna salad, some bacon and/or high meat content sausages, black pud, depending on the brand... Filling, and low carb.Yes, that’s why asking for breakfast ideas to move away from some elements

Hi. I was diagnosed over 5 yrs ago T2. I was send on a diabetes course they tell you to eat a healthy normal diet and give you pointers. Usually your GP refers you on diagnosis. I have been lucky to keep my hba1c between 46 and 50 on diet alone. I have had a stressful 6 months my last readings were 65 So have been put on Jardinine (I think it's called) with the hope of getting back to 46. I'm under the Intermediate Diabetic Dietitan. For breakfast I have 40g of porridge or bran with yoghurt and fruit. Have now reduced to 30g as trying to lose weight. I have sour dough bread 2 slices with meat/fish/cheese/eggs/salad and dinner I have 60g of uncooked rice, pasta 4 new potatoes with skins on with veg/chicken/fish. Having carbs is not a prob to the specialist team I see. Perhaps save getting conflicting advice for you personally you should ask you diabetes nurse/GP to send you on course or dietitian for right advice for you to manage yr condition.Hi all,
Recently diagnosed with type two and was wondering what would be good things for breakfast, only problem is don’t like eggs or porridge and can’t have nuts due wife been allergic to them.
Thanks

Low carb is now supported by the nhs. Sadly many dieticians, drs and nurses haven’t caught up with that yet.Hi. I was diagnosed over 5 yrs ago T2.
