[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2140068, member: 506169"] [USER=508720]@Sheila L[/USER] , Congratulations on your huge reduction in Hba1c. That is particularly impressive since you have done it without a Blood Glucose Meter and by following your DSN's advice to eat oats for breakfast. Before I was diagnosed as T2, I too was having porridge (sometimes with Blueberries) for breakfast every day - thinking it would keep my Cholesterol in check. What struck me upon diagnosis was that [B]they were advising the same 'Eatwell plate' that they had already persuaded me to adopt over 10yrs ago. - So how was eating the same high crab diet going to suddenly stop hurting my BG and suddenly start helping it? It just didn't add up[/B], so I found these Forums and am doing OK without any difficult sacrifices. It is too bad that you say it would be difficult for you to eat eggs for breakfast. If you had a BG meter you would be able to confirm whether Porridge was indeed OK for you or not. For me it was an easy swap once I saw the BG reading 2hrs after porridge. So I now have 2 hard boiled eggs with salt, pepper and a little drizzle of Olive Oil instead of my boiled oats. I do my eggs in batches, boiling 8 (4 days of breakfasts) at a time. [/QUOTE]
