[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 942344, member: 148713"] You could try a Turkish breakfast. It's cucumber, tomato, white cheese (feta) and/or boiled eggs, olives and black tea. Of course, they add bread, but you don't have to. It's a very good breakfast. If you do try it, don't buy your feta at the supermarket, where it is astronomically expensive. If you live in a reasonable size city or town, find a Turkish/Lebanese/Kurdish shop and ask for white cheese. They sell it in tins at about one tenth the price of supermarkets. I buy the low fat version. I just read an interesting paper today that says that the ORDER in which you eat stuff in a meal is as effective as medication. So you should eat the protein and vegetables (fibre) first, and the carbs last. They found that in Type 2s this single intervention put their post-prandial blood sugars into the "normal" range. Probably worth a try for you. Here's the link: [URL]http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/38/7/e98.full.pdf[/URL] I'm a Type 1, but I was interested in this paper because I always do this. I have done it for years because in a way it's kind of obvious. It is good to have it confirmed, though! [/QUOTE]
