Thank you. What do you have for breakfast ?Hi and welcome to the forum. @daisy1 will be here soon with some information that will help
I'm afraid for me sadly there is only one cereal that I have v v rarely All Bran. And that's if I er need some help
They all spike me
Some people are ok with weetabix but the only way you can tell is by testing just before eating and at 2 hours. If you don't have more than a 2mmol raise then that is ok for you...we are all different. I was sad to give up my beloved porridge but it sents me up to 10
I was advised to give up grains (inc porridge oats) some time ago but the same person recommended groats, or whole grain oats, which I soak overnight in a thermos of hot water with cinnamon & milled chia seeds. In the morning it's ready to eat so just reheat and add berries and yoghurt, cream, nuts or whatever. It reliably doesn't spike me. Good if you're in a hurry in the morning, too.I was sad to give up my beloved porridge but it sends me up to 10
Any carbs for breakfast spike my blood sugar more than other times of the day, so I avoid cereal. Eggs and bacon for me.
Except for the bulletproof coffee.... IT'S ME. !!!!!I love porridge with milk but the combination is too high in carbs for me.
I never liked breakfast much anyway, mostly coffee first thing so now I try bulletproof coffee and that is actually quite nice and rather filling.
Before I quit smoking I used to have two large mugs of very strong coffee, a couple of news papers and at least three cigarettes within the first half hour of rising. The coffee and fags sorted the bowel business. Now I find the coconut oil part of bullet proof coffee helps a lot.
How many carbs does it have? I cant find it on the website, only GL.All of Lizzi's granola types are low carb, filling and I find don't spike me much. These days though I have a Sainsbury's own crumpet (20g) and find that keeps me very steady
I love my porridge but only make it with water and am lucky it doesn't spike me at all, and Aldi own brand cheerios are a lot less sweet than the proper ones, haven't found any others that don't raise my sugar. I choose not to have cereal every day just in case and alternate with eggs bacon sausages (97per cent meat)mushrooms etcNewly diagnosed T2 and trying out breakfast cereals. I do like porridge but sometimes i want a cold cereal. Any recommendations for which ones dont send sugars through the roof? TIA x
