[QUOTE="Bluemarine Josephine, post: 1416607, member: 213188"] Hello Kristin! I am always so happy to read your input! I hope that you are very well! Oh my God, where do I begin with protein in breakfast! I don’t even dare to touch protein with breakfast as it almost cancels out my novorapid! If I have breakfast and include protein (and I am not referring to massive amounts…neither to milk/yogurt -which is a combination of fat and protein and make things even more difficult- it could be just a slice of ham or turkey) and I inject my normal ratio, I will find myself at 14 mmols 2 hours after breakfast and, most probably, I will stay at a similar level until lunchtime! The problem that I have with avocado (and I do like avocado on toast for breakfast) is that although it gives me a nice and mild rise 2 hours after a meal, the rise keeps going after 3 or even 4 hours so, even though I do not get a high postprandial spike, my bg keeps rising even after my novorapid has done its work. I suppose that the fat content in avocado delays digestion but, in the way that very low glycemic load foods do (like rye bread for example) and the solution is on bolus surfing (and in all honesty, I am already injecting 5 times a day, or more in case I need to correct my bg so, adding 2-3 more injections so as to eat an avocado or a slice of rye bread feels too much effort for me). I can see the benefit of it only if I decided to eat and then exercise 2-3 hours after breakfast, I would feel safe. Weirdly enough, and despite the DAFNE principles, lettuce spikes me as well! I hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend. Regards Josephine [/QUOTE]
