I’m a type two diabetic only recently diagnosed I’m doing ok with eating low carb food but can we eat porridge?
 
For most type 2s, porridge made with oats is too carby. Some people can manage it, but not many. If you have a meter, you could experiment a little to see your individual reaction to it. Failing that, that are various mixes of chia seeds, flax seeds, etc, that people put together and call keto porridge - you could try to see if any of those work for you.
 
My new breakfast is a mix of milled flaxseed and chia seeds, 2 spoons flaxseed to 1 of chia, add a little salt and some cinnamon and a few chopped seeds or nuts. Add water and microwave for 2mins, then add a spoon of coconut milk, plus a little erythritol if you need sweetener and serve with double cream.
