[QUOTE="finzi1966, post: 2462315, member: 548675"] Yes, I’m so sorry, any irritation was not aimed at you AT ALL, it was aimed at your diabetic nurse. It is perfectly reasonable that you have been doing what you think is the right think by following their instructions. But their instructions are very likely to be making your blood sugars worse. Because what raises blood sugar is carbohydrates. They are the WORST thing for a diabetic to have too much of. Non-diabetics can cope fine because they produce the appropriate amount of insulin at the right time and their cells respond to it correctly. You can’t do that. So the only way to reliably fix the blood sugar (although meds will also help) is minimising the amount to carbohydrates you put in. Things you could have for breakfast? I’d suggest maybe eggs, bacon, avocado, sliced chicken, salmon, sausage, spinach. Same as you’d have for other meals, really. Breakfast doesn’t need to be special food and it DEFINITELY doesn’t need to be carbohydrates. In fact an odd thing about many of us is that we are LESS able to cope with carbs at breakfast than later times in the day. [/QUOTE]
