[QUOTE="gbswales, post: 95188, member: 21675"] well into week three I think now of some sort of casual carbing (thats my word for it) - tried cooked breakfast but unless I have been up for an hour or more it is just not enjoyable - and I am not going to add "getting up earlire than I need to" to the list of diabetes pains :lol: Eating is a very psychological thing and I have never been one to eat anything that I didnt like so for long term control (rather than short term dieting) it is essential to enjoy what you eat. I tried a few things, eggs bacon tomatoes etc but in the end have returned to my two weetabix with sweetner milk and sugar. Oddly while I hate the taste of milk as a drink (it makes me feel sick) I adore it with cereal or tea and coffee. So if I substitute for cereal then I need to subsitute for the milk as well. I found little difference between my blood levels before lunch on days when I had 2 weetabix or the days when I had bacon or eggs - ergo it makes sense to me to eat the food I enjoy. Somehow my routine breakfast makes me feel "normal" and that is important to me - I dont want to FEEL that I am doing anything special to control diabetes (even though of course I actually am) call it "responsible denial" - I want to walk out each day not thinking that I have hemophilia and diabetes.
