@kaylz91 don't feel awful for admitting that - feel proud for taking the first step. And I suspect - in fact, I know - that you are far from alone. Honestly, I didn't have a clue, despite having done a carb counting course, until I found this site and really started to read. I believe 'Think Like a Pancreas' is often recommended around here as a good place to start. You've been doing this for eleven months. Really, that's no time at all. Five years in, I still don't have a clue most of the time, and I'd be willing to put money on other people being in the same position.
Obviously the advice of the DSN and dietician is important to take on board, but also remember that it is you who has to live with it every day. My advice would be to find something that you like eating - or if that is an issue, even something that you can manage to eat - for breakfast, without worrying too much about how many carbs or anything else it has in it, and take it from there. Maybe it's porridge, maybe it's something with fruit, maybe it's something else.
What would you have had for breakfast before your diagnosis?
