Yes but have weetabix which i don't think is that great. Will try branflakes or scrambled eggs......any other ideas would be appreciated. Diabetic nurse suggested porridge but don't like this at all xAre you eating breakfast?
Does you salad accompany chunks of meat to keep you feeling full? Eggs and cheese might do as well, but they might be best kept for snacks.
Lidl protein rolls are handy for sandwich substitutes if you like them.
bacon?Yes but have weetabix which i don't think is that great. Will try branflakes or scrambled eggs......any other ideas would be appreciated. Diabetic nurse suggested porridge but don't like this at all x
Thank you....do have nuts sometimes and have some berries with cream after my evening meal. Will take a look at the recipes. XHello Caz B,
Many of us have had that dreadful "runaway appetite", it's a symptom of the diabetes. Controlling your carbohydrate intake will help. Nuts such as walnuts (getting to be at their best now) pecans, Brazil nuts, almonds and macadamia are all good but you will have to watch the calories. Home made soup is good; blueberries, raspberries and strawberries in moderation. I like the almond bread in the low carb bread recipes on this website, and frittata sliced and eaten hot or cold. It's worth experimenting with recipes using almond or coconut flour as they help to satisfy your hunger.
Yes have bacon and eggs some nights for dinner and every sunday go to the cafe for an english breakfast without the bread. It's at work i struggle most. Xbacon?
Have tried Lidl rolls but have trouble getting them at times xYes but have weetabix which i don't think is that great. Will try branflakes or scrambled eggs......any other ideas would be appreciated. Diabetic nurse suggested porridge but don't like this at all x
I was thinking more breakfast.. although personally I never have breakfast just a tea or coffee.. you could give that a try and extend your overnight fast. I found it helped a lot with blood sugar control..Yes have bacon and eggs some nights for dinner and every sunday go to the cafe for an english breakfast without the bread.

I am always really hungry first thing but am wondering if my hunger is down to my sugar level being higher than it ought to be, and i get banging headaches when hungry. My boss is finding her sugar level has gone up a lot and her doctor is considering insulin....i am trying to avoid going down this route.

Yes, Diabetic nurses love porridge. May take longer to digest than a bowl of coco pops but is still going to fill your blood with glucose in the end!Yes but have weetabix which i don't think is that great.

Have you upped your fat and salt if low carbing? Fat for satiety.. less hunger and salt for the headache.I am always really hungry first thing but am wondering if my hunger is down to my sugar level being higher than it ought to be, and i get banging headaches when hungry.

I second avocado any time of day. No chips of course. Right out of the skin or with celery bitsI always found breakfast the most awkward initially but soon discovered smoked cheese slices and dried bacon slices (no carbs to speak of). The Lidl rolls are excellent; the also freeze well and are great value for money. Avocado is good any time of day and small bit of may seems to make no difference for me. Weetabix was/is for me an absolute no-no. If I felt I had to eat cereal (through pure greed and no common sense!) it was bran flakes as they had the lowest carb/sugar count...but still sure to increase the blood sugar. Nuts...eggs...cheese...cold meat...small tins of John West flavoured tuna (chilli's good)...mackerel in mustard...90% cocoa chocolate...trial and error stuff.
