[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1176668, member: 240838"] Many here have a piece of ham or some type of protein and a piece of cheese for BF. I occasionally have a piece of deli turkey on a large piece of lettuce with mayo and mustard. The fat ( mayo) is very important to me or my protein will spike me faster and higher. Most of us a are most insulin resistant in the morning and become more sensative as the day goes on. Many on this forum just have coffee with heavy cream because anything else spikes them. I need a very small, almost no carb no protein BF and is why I eat avocado. I need just fat in the morning. Lots of us eat a very small BF as well. NOT many eat carbs for BF for the same reasons you're seeing, spike. It's hard to reel the spike back in and get control the rest of the day. The type of fat and protein make a difference in my spikes. I will spike fast and high on dairy/ cheese so I don't eat it. I will spike much further out with saturated fat and sooner with lean protein. I need to add fat to lean protein to slow it. All forms of grains breads etc send I'm sky high. I never did a basal test but I take my basal at night. I found I couldn't take it during the day as it works on food even though not intended to and I kept having hypos so I take it right before bed and what I go to bed at I wake up really close. I have had to adjust it but have been set for a long time now I eat less than 20 carbs a DAY all in vegetables and about 4 -5oz protein a day. This has allowed me to severly reduce my insulin but more importantly it stopped the hypos and spikes in its track and everything stays low and steady. I also eat the same meals at the same times of day. I rotate foods but keep the macros at each meal the same. I take the same amount of insulin at all 3 meals but my lunch is bigger than BF and dinner bigger than lunch as I become more sensitive as the day goes on. It took a lot of testing to find meals and quantities that work but I could run on autopilot now and not test but I still ALWAYS do. [/QUOTE]
