I often don’t have breakfast at a weekend but I do normally like to have it in the week, I start work early and don’t get chance for a break until around 11.30/12ish so try and have something filling to keep me going

Didn’t think about having cold meat, thanks, could have boiled egg with it as well. Homemade granola sounds nice. Thankyou

Wow thanks for that, lots of ideas [emoji4]

Thanks, I haven’t tried Chia before, what does it taste like? I’ve had a look at the recipe, it sounds good. Thankyou

Hi, I’m really struggling with low carb breakfasts, I’ve always liked toast or a muffin or crumpet but since being diagnosed type 2 I have been having natural Greek yoghurt with some strawberries or raspberries or scrambled/boiled egg with bacon , sometimes still have 1 slice of toast with the...

Thankyou, I am very lucky to have a lovely nurse and also to have found this forum.

Thankyou, I will have a look at those websites. My nurse is lovely, she said she has Type 2 diabetes as well, maybe that’s why she gave the advice on low carbs, I just assumed that’s what the general advice from all nurses is!

Fab Thankyou, I will have a look for some recipes. I definitely have a sweet tooth so will try and find some substitutes as well.

Thankyou, I’m struggling to get my head around the carbs at the moment but I’m sure I will get there. I have been put on Dapagliflozin, the nurse said it will help me to loose weight as well, I hope it does!!

I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic last week, I had a phone consultation with the nurse a couple of days ago and she said to try and have no more than 30g of carbs a day, she left me an information pack out which had a list of carbs , 5 pages of it, I didn’t realise there were so many carbs...
