[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2057501, member: 401801"] First off, I adore your avatar. Just had to be said, sorry. Secondly, yeah, Cheerio's aren't that good of a meal, especially in the morning, when on the whole we're likely to have higher numbers as it is. Nice that it's sugar free and all, but it's still oats, and those are carby, but you know that already. How do you feel about eggs with bacon, cheese, high meat content sausages and/or mushrooms? It's very filling, and tasty to boot. Or just coffee with double cream/clotted cream. Those options won't spike your bloodsugars at all. You could check this forum's site, as it too has meal options, or have a read through over at dietdoctor.com. They too want info and sell stuff, at first glance, but there's a lot of free info on there which you don't have to register for, so knock yourself out.
