Hi @amgrundy Well done on getting your BS down! The poached egg should have been OK - what did you have with it?

I had brown seeded bread I slice wonder if I should have had porridge. Now I know how to do bloods at meal times and then 2 hours after I can learn what is best to eat. Any ideas as my bloods are up and down , sure I will get it right hopefully soon as I get so frustrated which is not me I am generally quite easy going but this diagnosis has really shook me a little

The culprit wasn't the egg, but rather the bread. Porridge would likely be no better than bread. Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, porridge all raise your bold glucose as they are carbs. Also, blood glucose tends to rise more after breakfast compared to the same meal eaten later in the day. A carb free breakfast is better for preventing an excessive blood glucose rise. Something like bacon and eggs.
 
Hi thanks for the info no body told me this. my diabetic nurse said just eat normally but in moderation. With trying to loose weight as well she said no fat no sugar not been told a lot got more off this site. Then someone said no meat just chicken and fish so confused at the moment.

I agree with the gent above and keep carbs as low as possible for breakfast. There are lots of meal ideas on this thread

It is good that you are testing. Try the eggs without the bread and test again another day. Fat will not put your levels up.
 
I some times think you might as well ask your local plumber what to eat as T2 that a Diabetic nurse
