[QUOTE="latvianchick, post: 1203442, member: 97703"] I have tried going on type 1 forums and breakfast ones. Did not realise that there were different ones. I was told to eat about 40 grams slow release carbs at each meal to keep the levels steady - though because of my tiny appetite I rarely achieve that over a day. I have tried low carb and end up hypo several times a day which rather defeats the object of the exercise. The cold meats/cheeses I have for lunch in my sandwiches - and these are always pure meats or fish, not your Spam, or Bernard Matthews type stuff. I buy several types from the deli counter in Polish food shops and if they are meat, they are pure meat, and lean - no fat and not made with fillers such as bread, pulp etc. I think what I am trying to express is my desire/need for variety of flavours while being healthy - ie non processed. Some people can get by with same things day in, day out, but I need variety and it gets very depressing (for me) that suggestions on DUK and other diabetes sites which go with muffins, dried fruits, fresh fruits, chocolate etc for breakfast, or breakfast casseroles which on average take 1 - 1 1/2 hours to cook - who has the time or patience for that? They might be good for families, but for a single person? Oh, I give up. Might as well not eat anything. The whole reason why I never ate breakfast before diagnosis was because it was always the same, toast and egg, toast and marmite, toast and Bovril, or cereal - like Allbran or wheatabix - all no flavour again!
