Is there not lots of sugar in Greek yoghurt!? I think I’m going to have to try it out it seems to be working for most people!?
Greek yoghurt is the way forward for me or any kind of Greek style plain yoghurt. Try to avoid the fruit corner style ones as they have a lot of sugar. I tend to buy the big tubs from Aldi/Lidl and occasionally add nuts, cinnamon or berries to mix it up a bit.
Might be worth a try, keep us posted
If I have have breakfast my sugars spike up to 15! And stay that way until after lunch. I’ve tried everything but nothing works. After lunch everything is ok and I can snack and eat but anything before then is a no go for me!
I would love to but unfortunately I work full time I don’t really have the time to exercise on a morning I do go to the gym on an evening 2/3 times a week. I’m going to try cut carbs on an evening and maybe try ham and cheese or eggs for breakfast for a few days see how that works for me!
Thanks
Does anybody else struggle with breakfast?? If I don’t have breakfast my sugars stay level if I dare to eat breakfast I struggle to get them down to normal for the rest of the Morning! My diabetes hates breakfast!!
It is not strictly true that plain Greek yogurt has no sugar. I has no added sugar, but does contain some lactose from the milk, although most of it has been used by the bugs that make the yogurt. If it doesn't knock your blood sugar out though it is obviously ok.Plain unsweetened greek yoghurt doesn't have any sugar. Check the back of the package to make sure. It has 10% fat, so tastes wonderful without sweetening and is filling as well. You can also make wonderful zaziki with it to accompany you meal (or eat out of the pot every time you pass the fridge): yoghurt, grated cucumber, bit of lemon juice, lots of fresh garlic, splash of olive oil, pinch of salt. I love it on about every meat or vegetable, and also like to add a big spoon of it to my bowl of soup or stew
Is your breakfast always starch based? What happens if you have cheese and ham or egg and bacon?Does anybody else struggle with breakfast??

I tried ham and cheese and cucumber today for breakfast as suggested by a forum member and my sugars were absolutely fine this morning! It was a bit of a strange combo but I actually quite enjoyed it so I’m ok as long as no carbs are involved!
Yesssss!! Well done @emmawhit32, glad you found something that works for you. Hopefully you can say goodbye to those spikes!
Thank you @tiredoftrying2017 had a great day today!! but I did treat myself to a chocolate biscuit after tea... ok 2!! but sugars currently at 4.8 so winner winner chicken dinner... which is actually what I had for tea too lol. The Greek yoghurt I’m saving for a Saturday morning treat!!
Hello, as you don't mention what you have FOR BREAKFAST, its hard to assist with any recommendations, ideas or comments unfortunately, it seems mornings are the worst for everyone, even myself with Pre diabetes, whatever your having, perhaps suggestion box absolutely no carbs, that is no bread whatsoever, seed crackers instead, eggs, bacon, eggs asparagus, or greek yogurt with a tiny few berries or fresh strawberries, lots of sunflower seeds, sesame, flax and chia, with almonds or walnuts on top yummie.....green tea, such items as little or no carbs should assist in your morning levels, also try fasting for two mornings a week NO BREAKFAST, and then test the day you eat breakfast, i.e. foods above or similar......and I am sure you may be pleasantly surprised, each body is different, but if you don't put carbs in including bread toast really, your levels should be OK if you eat the right foods, Keto breakfast plan, see their omelette Mexican, and many fab dishes to start the day with.Does anybody else struggle with breakfast??
