[QUOTE="harrisphil, post: 2356724, member: 505153"] I’ve been T1 for over 2 years now (am aged 35) but I dropped breakfast cereal years before my diagnosis, substituting for Porridge. I used to get in to work at 7:30am, eat 1/6 a box of Shreaddies (sp?) - so probably 100g of carbs easily - and then by 9:30am I would be besides myself with hunger, what I later realised was a massive sugar crash. Survive on biscuits until it was a baguette for lunch. Oh how times have changed! When I get into the office (here in Shanghai, after my 1hr metro commute to work, I make my first task to inject 3-4 units of Novo. Even before properly taking off my jacket or opening my laptop! Then 20-25min later I am eating my porridge mix: -50g jumbo rolled oats - 25g vegan protein powder (whey goes all clumpy in the microwave...) - handful of nuts (cashew, walnut, almond) - pinch of dried cranberries - half handful of fresh blueberries - table spoon of homemade peanut butter - pinch of coconut flakes (All prepared in a circular Tupperware the night before) And add water to the mix, 3min in the microwave. I am a big eater, but this breakfast at 8:30am, a coffee at 10:30, and I don’t need to eat again until 12:00. And... critically my sugar goes from 5ish to 8 and then back to low 4’s before lunch. I hope that helps. But weekend, or when I’m on holiday with a breakfast buffet... it’s a completely different story! I think I once took 10 shots of novo (in 3 doses) to deal with a fancy 5* breakfast !! [/QUOTE]
