Why not just leave out the fruit, or, alternatively reduce the amount of porridge or both? Don't forget the fruite juice as well. You don't say how much of each you have. It all contains sugar/cardbs and therefore it will affect your blood glucose levels.Fbg on waking 8.5.2 hrs after porridge,yogurt and fruit 8.0. 2 hrs later(pre dinner)5.6.is this normal?
This morning fbg 6.5.Tested 2 hrs later before b/f 9.9.had b/f,tested 2 hrs after 9.8. Good or bad?Why not just leave out the fruit, or, alternatively reduce the amount of porridge or both?

Honestly it’s hard to tell. You undoubtedly have dawn phenomenon going on shown by the rise between waking and breakfast 2 hrs later. This is usually a result of some significant insulin resistance and the only way to address that is to lower glucose levels across the day and demand less insulin throughout the day as a result and it takes time (months to years not days).This morning fbg 6.5.Tested 2 hrs later before b/f 9.9.had b/f,tested 2 hrs after 9.8.

Oh dear. Take good care, rest and fluids and pick up the experiments when you feel well again.Gave up after seeing the 9s.feeling rubbish.picked up a virus.
6.4 pre lunch today.2 hrs after 6.9.Thoughts please.That post-lunch reading is higher than I would like, personally. If I'm in the "sixes" pre-lunch I prefer to try and keep to at most "sevens" 2 hours later.
That looks to me like it was good lunch but to be honest, it's your lunch, your test, your diabetes, your thoughts are the only ones that count, what do you think?6.4 pre lunch today.2 hrs after 6.9.Thoughts please.
Fantastic, looks like you're getting the hang of it, and no it didn't rise at all, a difference of just 0.5 is basically the same level, well done.I think it looks ok.Dinner is usually a sandwich.( 1 slice) but just had ham,cottage cheese and cucumber.i am happy that it didnt rise a lot.thanks.
Ah but you are getting the hang of it. You basically had the sandwich (contents) without the bread to hold it together. I do that a fair bit and just increase the amounts of the good stuff that usually goes in the middle and add a fork.I dont think i will ever get the hang of it but I am trying.Well thats what hubby says!!
That looks like it was a great lunch! Well done!6.4 pre lunch today.2 hrs after 6.9.Thoughts please.
Could i use ground almonds instead of porridge?My view is that I wouldn't eat anything that caused such a large spike, your pancreas would have been working overtime to produce enough insulin.
Your insulin levels are probably still elevated, high insulin = fat storage and worsening insulin resistance.
You seem reluctant to give up on your porridge, and that's fine if for some reason you can't live without it.
But no matter how often you test it, there will still be the same amount of carbs in it.
Try cutting down on the amount, or less oats and add something lower carb to it like flax seed or maybe coconut flakes
You could even have it later in the day when our insulin works a little better, as a desert for example
I really wouldn't know, I'll tag @Rachox for you she will probably know.Could i use ground almonds instead of porridge?
If you google “porridge alternatives keto“ or “porridge alternatives low carb” you’ll get loads of recipe ideas. Often they are almond or coconut flour based or using chia seeds rather than oats. Same works for any meal/food item.I really wouldn't know, I'll tag @Rachox for you she will probably know.
It's not the sort of thing I would eat, if I eat breakfast it is always human food, not something I'd feed to a rabbit, bacon, eggs, sausages, that would be my choice.
