[QUOTE="ColinBhoy, post: 99220, member: 16052"] Can you guys give me some tips for breakfast meals? I am managing my BG levels fairly well now, through medication and a supplement of the B1 vitamin that was discussed in a recent thread, but I have some concerns. For breakfast just now I am sticking to eggs, or bacon and eggs, or sausage and eggs, or sausage and black pudding (or sometimes the lot at the weekend!). I have imported all this lovely Scottish 'heart attack' food down here to Angola with me! While I have no problems with my BG levels doing this, I have some serious concerns about my fat and cholestorol levels (which I can't monitor). I do suffer from high cholestorol, and I have been prescribed statins, but I haven't started taking them yet. I am too concerned about high liver enzymes which could be a concern when taking statins. If I can get my liver enzymes down in the next month or so I will start taking the statins, but until then I would like some options for breakfast. I have found that having a 'good' (read; hearty!) breakfast like the above, it does set me up for the day and I only need very small meals for the rest of the day, without the need for 'snacking', so whatever I take needs to be 'filling'. Nothing else that folks usually have for breakfast seems to help (yoghurt, cereals. pastries etc), and just sends my BG levels high for a long time, so if anyone has any innovative ideas out there, please let me know. Thanks in advance, Colin. [/QUOTE]
