Hi, I take it your following Nhs advice on eating?.
Any food with high carb/starch or sugar are basically our enermy & need to be cutout as much as possible, that's why many follow the Low card higher fat way to have good control of glucose levels, higher fats just really means butter, cream, yogurt, cheese etc & having them full fat not the low fat with added sugar. Also nuts, avocado, oily fish, are sources of fat.

Asda and Morrisons both stock Fage (fage is greek for the verb eat and the noun food). Useless facts are my thing.

Well I buy mine in either Tesco or Sainsbury's. They don't seem to stock a lot of the full fat total one though, There's lots of the low fat/higher sugar ones usually - which I don't want! :)
 
I usually have a small porridge. My DSN said its good for you ? I don't seem to get spikes and only put a small amount of insulin in for it.

I've always had cereal all my life (usually Weetabix or Shreddies), but something needed to change as BG's were all over the place. I've just completed my first week on LCHF and am feeling more like the 'old me' of years gone by.

My breakfast now consists of fresh blueberries and raspberries, a covering of double cream, and topped with a generous sprinkling of pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower hearts. To be honest I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I have, and I haven't missed my cereal at all. My BG's have for this initial week been rock steady, and insulin requirements much reduced. No weight change so far despite the high fat (early days I know), but it was the BG levels I was more concerned about. As an added bonus, I'm no longer ravenous by 11.30am (breakfast is at 6.45am), and so long as you've no nut allergy, give it a go. I've never been a 'nutty' person, but have really enjoyed this first weeks new diet.
 
Anyone who can't find the full fat Greek yog - you can cheat by adding double cream, stirred in.

I think the berry and yog and seed breakfast is fabulous, and delicious, but I actually do better (lower BG) on a protein breakfast, or a bulletproof coffee. So I save the berry/yog combo for an occasional extra special morning treat. :)
 
When you look at a box of cereal and it says 44 gms carbohydrate, like shredded wheat, that should be a clue. No grains are low glycemic load. Most spike your blood sugar than white table sugar, by weight. Get a book on glycemic loads of foods.
