breakfast

I've got T2D and was diagnosed a few years ago. I take a pill morning and night. Regardless of what I have for breakfast, about two hours later, with a good blood sugar level, I feel hungry. My doctor says I should tough it out, drink tea/water but not eat anything more until lunch. This is...

Hi all, Apologies if this has been discussed recently I couldn't find a complete answer in my search. I've had GD twice, both times I was given Insulin to control my high morning readings (dawn phenomenon). There was a query if I was actually T2 but following my last pregnancy I was able to...

So today I arrived at work a little later than normal due to an awful night with hypos. Usually I am there in plenty of time to enable me to have breakfast should I need to be out early but didn't manage it today and it was one of the rare days I have to be out early. I work in a care home and I...

Hi All, it’s been some time since I’ve been here! I’ve been type 2 for about 6 years now. Unfortunately I’ve had a bit of a nose dive recently and as such I’ve been taken off the tablets and I’m now on Abasaglar (12 units once a day) and Fiasp fast acting. Plus 1 glucophage tablet per day...

This morning, I decided to have a bowl of cottage cheese with black pepper on it. While looking through the foods I have here at work to eat, I realized I had bought a pack of blueberries yesterday, and decided to toss a handful of blueberries onto my cottage cheese. What a treat! I wanted to...

Hi, My son is 6 years old, diagnosed recently type 1. We have been using the FS Libre for 3 months now. We had problems with the system recently, so we've been comparing the Libre readings with his Accu-chek Aviva Expert monitor readings over the weekend. He's on 7 units Lantus in the morning...

Hi! New to the forums, I'm Type 1 and injecting Novorapid for meals and Lantus in the evening. I'm trying to tackle my high sugars in the mornings. I recently saw a diabetes dietician and she suggested I make a switch from my usual breakfast bars of about 30g of carbs to something with low GI...

Hi all, I'm new to posting the forum, but have found it to be a very useful resource in the past. I'd love to know if anyone else has experienced morning insulin resistance. Over the past few months I have noticed that my sugars have been climbing quite high post breakfast. I do suffer from...

Hi, I'm vegan type 1, and for years my breakfast has been cereal (about 70g of whatever cereal I like) with soya milk. It's quick, easy, and keeps me full for a few hours. However, I'm trying to slowly reduce my carb intake, and am looking for suggestions for alternatives. They don't need to...

I'm going to be pootling the length of Italy this September, and I'm wondering if any members have any experience (or advice) of what is possible to find to fuel long days of sight-seeing. I understand that "normal" breakfast is a coffee with a dunked cornetto - not that ice-cream, but rather a...
