[QUOTE="Interaud, post: 1450482, member: 190621"] Hi, I usually surface around 3.30/4.00 am, to start work at 6.30ish (20 min walk to work), and due to my work regime of physical cleaning I must admit to the horror of most that I have a bowl of Bran flakes, quarter chopped banana, almond milk and cinnamon sprinkled on top and x2 slices of Burgen bread toasted with Pro-active margarine and green tea). This keeps my glucose levels OK until around 9.00 am when I have a sugar-free yoghurt and home-made wholemeal/apple/walnut scone with half slice LO Cheese. When I'm ready to leave 1 and a half hours later my BGs are either the same or lower than before I ate something (rough example 6.1 pre-breakfast; 4.2 pre-9o'clock; 5.6ish max. on leaving job depending on activity involved). I understand everyone differs but this works for me in confidence that I'm not pushing anything out of control. You're right though, the early morning activity works more effectively, and slows down throughout the day if you're on 2 injections daily.
