Breakfast

I am type 2 and take 2 x 500mg metformin twice daily. . (I also have had an underactive thyroid for 20 years. finally seeing an Endocoligist(?) tomorrow about this)
Over the lst few months I have suffered a lot of sickness and do not know why. This is not normal and Dr does not wish to keep providing anti sickness pills.
For breakfast I used to have a small bowl of cornflakes with skimmed milk and green tea. At weekend I would have a piece of bacon in a Lidl roll. These rolls no longer available. But it does not matter what I eat I could still be sick.
Yesterday and today I seem to be ok. Do not know if this is because for one week now I have cut out milk completely.
Could not face dry cornflakes and the only bread we had in was white rolls. Had half a white roll toasted with butter for breakfast. Felt fine but two hours later did a blood test and my reading was 12.6. This shocked me and I am sure it was the white roll. Not eaten white breads for years. I am usually struggling to keep readings around 7.

If leaving out milk what would you suggest that is not huge for breakfast and of course I now know not to have white bread.

Thank you in advance. I read this site so much I feel confident I should recieve a few suggestions.

Thanls Mel. I will try it. It is not normal for any food or drink to affect me. Will let you know how I get on.

I would leave out the cornflakes as well as the milk. Cornflakes are high in carbs and rubbish nutritionally. Have you tried lowering the carbs in your diet? I suspect that might help your nausea as well as your bg. Metformin can cause digestive upsets in many people. Do you take yours with meals, which is said to help?

Thanks Alexandra. I did not realise a few cornflakes came as high carb so will look for something else. I do take the metformin with my breakfast and evening meal. No one told me though, I just did it.
Thanks.
