[QUOTE="agwagw, post: 2356579, member: 415845"] Sympathies! I went through this issue for years. In my search I could only find Shredded Wheat and plain porridge don't have added sugar, all other breakfast cereals have added sugar. Sugar-free museli tends to have dried fruit which (for me) is an absolute no no, while some have artificial sweeteners which I try to avoid. I have settled for a carbo-free breakfast such as cheese and ham, scrambled egg with added cheese; bacon and egg (if there's time). Boiled eggs are great too, but I feel not enjoyable without bread (gave up on bread as the spiking was too great). I do have a Finnecrisp with boiled eggs - they taste great and only have 3g carb. These low-carb breakfasts are very satisfying and really keep you going even with physical work. I found that when I was spiking following toast or any sort of fruit, cereals etc I would feel quite weak. When you are at 20mM glucose it just isn't getting into one's muscles and so having a carbo breakfast isn't doing any good for stamina if it causes spikes. I used to have about 10 units of Novorapid which certainly led to the dangers of hypos or eating glucose tabs to prevent them - a terrible sea-saw. Now I just have 1 unit with breakfast (I have my Tresiba at the same time). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
