[QUOTE="BaliRob, post: 1763956, member: 36236"] Breakfast is usually the most difficult for most diabetics. The choice for myself resulted as follows:- For more years than I can remember I had two Weetabix (UK) with milk and sugar (yes, a boring fellow I know) because I just wanted petrol for the engine but then came the shock of being diagnosed. Obviously stopped the sugar immediately but, as everyone on this Forum (in those days) said bananas are good for you replaced the sugar with said banana. Then I became the proud possessor of a One Touch Ultra meter - horror upon horror - that combination took me to 17 most mornings. Then I learned that some of you cannot even look at a banana without your sugars skyrocketing!! Stopped the banana and tested with just two Weetabix biscuits - down came my BS to a more reasonable level but still too high. Experimented with low calcium milk and just ONE Weetabix. Result almost respectable readings. Then I came to Bali and Weetabix became Weetbix - same exercise but with worse readings. I continued in this manner for a few years until about 12 months ago when I read an article about Starbucks main breakfast being PORRIDGE and had been its main serving for the past 8 years. Then went to Google and low and behold found that porridge for countless reasons was one of the best food for us humans from so many gurus and medical specialists that I thought so many eminent persons cannot be wrong especially as cholesterol and sugars were mentioned so many times . The result - for the past year my blood sugars two hours after breakfast have averaged <7 which for me is astounding. and only affected if I had been naughty the night before. Moral of this long missive is that do not believe all that you read - try each food for yourself and do not think Weetabix is the same as Weetbix, for example. By the way - DO NOT - pay too much attention to Metformin (Glucophage) being the solution for a Type 2's woes because it is not - I came off Metformin after learning that it was contra-indicated with Congestive Heart Failure and all other heart conditions the same time I started on porridge AND HAVE NEVER FELT BETTER.
