Best T2 breakfast

[moonchip]

With many thanks to Bluetit1802 who's recommended I don't acquire a taste for Weetabix for breakfast (I can live with that ! ) I was wondering what those with experience would suggest for a newly diagnosed T2 to have as a breakfast

Thanks in advance for any replies

Hello moonchip

Is that just your favourite, or is that OK to eat ??

Nice to see I'm ok with cheese - had a small piece earlier ..... it was like the finest caviar to me

I have a small bowl of Porridge each day with Flaxseed sprinkled over. It puts it up a bit but keep me from being hungry longer.

Bacon scrambled eggs and laced with wilted spinach leaves. Love 'em. If you test and you're OK with them, then it's a great source of protein.

At the weekend I like to have a cooked breakfast - bacon, eggs and mushrooms and a grilled tomato or a 2 egg omelette with cheese and mushrooms.

Unfortunately during the week its a little difficult as I leave for work really early and I cant quite stomach the food straight away, even though my liver demands it.. so I tend to eat a piece of cold frittatas, cold sausages (97% meat) or 9bars - occasionally I do my self lettuce & ham roles (I use the ham or lettuce instead of bread and wrap them around soft cheese and veg) or breakfast balls. All of which I can enjoy whilst driving to work - although not idea it works for me.

I have the same every morning because I enjoy it and it keeps me filled up till lunch time.

100g Full fat Greek yogurt (Fage Total) with a few berries added for sweetness - blackberries at the moment, sometimes raspberries, sometimes strawberries, sometimes blueberries. Only a few though, and I find fresh ones are better for the blood sugars than frozen ones. Followed by either a mug of tea with a dash of milk or a decaf coffee with 2 spoonsful of double cream.

I save my cooked breakfasts for lunch time - bacon, eggs, 97% meat sausages, tomato and loads of mushrooms cooked in butter.

I have hot oat cereal with oatbran and flax seed during the week and eggs on seeded bread at weekends. Sometimes I have bran flakes with almonds, hazelnuts and blueberries. I had them this morning pre brekkie 5.3 and 2 hours after 5.5 so I seem to be lucky with cereals!

Either bacon and sausage, or Fage Total yoghurt and berries, or fried leftover veggies (not potato)

Oopsie "bread" made into "French toast" is really yummy. I make the Oopsie (several recipes in the recipe section), then take a piece or two, smear with a bit of butter, sprinkle with lots of cinnamon and fry. Wish I could cover with maple syrup but oh well!

Weetabix and Almond Milk

[Shetland-Mal]

Scrambled or poached eggs with smoked salmon on toast (Smoked salmon is quite cheap these days) or porridge with a teaspoon of jam (dont bother with diabetics jam unless you want the trots).

 

[Neale Horrocks]

my problem is - where do you get the energy if you have extra light breakfast? If I go to the gym, obviously going to burn up lot of calories, a no or low carb breakfast is not the best thing, so it is bacon eggs or similar. Before I be came Ill, for 30 years I walked 50 - 60 mins per day, and my weight stayed about same - now that I have been unable to walk or exercise other in very restricted way, my diet has to be adjusted accordingly and becoming a diabetic at the same time has really tested my resolve. Love getting hints and advice from this forum - just so helpful
