recent diagnosed

Now my Wife and I are starting to look very seriously about things like shredded wheat and all breakfast cereals, and as she has just been diagnosed as borderline, we now know roughly the route to take, thank you once again.

Look at every packet you are thinking of buying. Please forget breakfast cereals, at least for now, and until you are able to start testing. All cereal is very high carb, and that includes porridge ... not to mention the milk you may use on it. Eggs are a good breakfast, cooked any which way. You can add bacon, mushrooms, cheese, a tomato if you wish. Or cold meats.

You can Google most packaged/tinned foods by typing in the name of the product followed by Tesco (or any of the major supermarkets). They list all their products with details of the ingredients and carb/fat/protein/fibre contents. Such as "Shredded wheat Tesco) https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/262972749 You can see that 2 shredded wheat biscuits with semi skimmed milk are 37g carbs.

I think you’ll find most breakfast cereals are high in carbs unfortunately. If you still want a porridge like experience give this low carb coconut ‘porridge’ a try. Not real porridge, not a grain in sight!
I have it every morning with strawberries and cream:

Hi Rachox
Coconut is one of those things that we both dislike, but thanks for the thought, I guess we will just keep the cereals for the grandchildren now, I think its going to be a boiled egg from now on?????? Lol
