[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2075160, member: 475901"] I found ordinary porridge spiked my blood sugar so had to give it up. As I don't like eggs or very fatty foods such as bacon first thing, and found chia porridge on its own too gloopy, I developed a mix of milled flaxseed, chia seeds and a little oatbran instead. Delicious made with a mix of coconut milk and water, then added cinnamon. I started with 18g oatbran and gradually reduced that, increasing the flaxseed - I'm down to 10g oatbran now and really enjoy it. Especially with a teaspoon of double cream on top. If you decide to go fully low carb to control diabetes (or even get into remission as I have) then don't be afraid of good fats - if you aren't eating loads of carb and fat mixed then fat is not an issue. As for fruit, I miss things like mangos and other tropical fruits, but love raspberries so I have a few of those every day instead, with either double cream or full fat real Greek yogurt. I replaced other fruit servings with extra green veg and cauliflower mash/rice. [/QUOTE]
