Clearly we all vary, it is quite remarkable. I have porridge (rolled Scottish) three breakfasts per week, each consisting altogether of the following: 40g of oats, 250mls of semi-skimmed milk; five prunes; 8g of chia seeds; and 15g cheddar cheese. My latest test on such a breakfast gave me these BG numbers: 6.6 mmol/l just before eating; 9.5 mmol/l 45 minutes after eating; 5.3 mmol/l 2 hours after eating. This seems to me not too bad a rise given the settling-down after 2 hours. It would take a gun to my head to make me give up the porridge ...I was having a great day with low carbs. I had one reading of 5.6 which sent me into ecstasy !
I thought now is my chance to find a breakfast I can eat so...I tried porridge. 40 grams as stated so as not to overdo the portion size. 2 before 5.6 .....2 hours later...14.2 :x
Could be different for you but Id recommend testing after your Porridge.
