[QUOTE="Jacquelineann, post: 1234380, member: 190946"] For three years now I have been having porridge for breakfast and reading my BS at the earliest two hours after eating. Only now do I realise that quite probably there is a time within that two hours that the sugar level spikes :-( So reluctantly I changed to a slice of toast with cheese and tomato. Took the relevant amount of insulin and in fact was a little worried about hypo as I had a long walk. Tested two hours afterwards and BS was 265 which is 14.71! So that's not going to work either. Can anyone tell me if I can find a way round this by maybe injecting half an hour before food? Taking more insulin isn't the answer as I have tried that and it results in a hypo. Failing that - what do other people eat for breakfast? It's my favourite meal of the day and I want something pretty low calorie, but healthy and available 365 days a year! Or...should I be eating less to avoid such a spike? However we are talking about 0.75 of an ounce of oats or one slice of toast... [/QUOTE]
