Message: <blockquote data-quote="grum" data-source="post: 83679" data-attributes="member: 20262">Ah Breakfast! Just opened email from Diabetics.com and read some of the comments.I agree with James' comments no one should be made to feel guilty, lazy etc about whether they have breakfast or not (though we are told that it is the most important meal of the day) During the years at school my day started woken by Mum with a cuppa, fed a good hearty fry up every day by Dad, before catching transport to school, then ate school lunch (sometimes good) and a light tea when I got home. As I neared 15yrs of age I started getting up later (tho' still had early cuppa) by the time I hit the kitchen it was too late to eat breakfast and my last words to Dad were "don't tell Mum I didn't eat anything" (cos she would worry).Inbetween those days and these I have eaten/not eaten breakfast for many reasons. Following a mishap keeping me home for some weeks I got back into the habit of breakfast, so I eat  now before work (cereal, say porridge with cinnamon on or some oaty type never putting sugar on any of them only bit of fresh fruit), some days it's a struggle to force it down, why do I eat it because I don't wish to swallow Metformin on an empty stomach and/or feel not good during the morning. I too look forward to the odd cooked breakfast. We all know breakfast is important but it really does help if you actually feel like eating it! If not may be a bit of fruit later in the morning or toast.The diabetic sessions I attended were informative the one everyone was waiting for was Diet!! we were told right from the start, this is not about you dieting this is about eating healthily we are here to help you understand the foods you eat and what they are made up of, (help recognise good sugar and bad).If I am naughty I correct it asa non of us are saints (leastways I'm not) I have examined food packs in shops (cereal yoghurt and like)spending more time doing that than getting food) and usually give up with most of them when I see the sugar content , so the motto is if possible ,stick to the simpler foods that you can add to.</blockquote>
