[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2210631, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=407119]@elsalisa[/USER] Unfortunately porridge is porridge regardless of the brand, it's the carb content you need to keep an eye on. She could have cream in it however this would only delay the spike and she would require insulin later on to correct the resulting high, which would be tricky unless she knows what she's doing, maybe mix with desiccated coconut to bulk it out and reduce the volume of porridge perhaps as well as a dollop of cream or coconut cream ? Personally I find mornings the worst time to eat carbs or any kind, so cereals/bread are all a nightmare to deal with, I can cope better later in the day when active, but find I am more insulin resistant in the morning so avoid carbs then. Some t1's cope ok but have heard others are similar to me and go high, taking till lunchtime to get down to single figures again, I do eat the diet doctor coconut porridge as suggested by Jo above and take insulin for it, but mix it with blueberries and yoghurt too.
