Wife of Diabetic. Breakfasts?

[w.o.d]

Hello! I am new to the forum and am a WOD - Wife of Diabetic! My hubby is doing really well with managing his diabetes but is struggling to find a better breakfast. He always has a high spike after breakfast (he enjoys sugary cereal!) so is wanting something that will release carbs more slowly. I have googled slow release breakfasts and all I find is porridge which he is not keen on (because it involves cooking). Any other suggestions?

I sometimes whip up one egg in a cup, heat a little butter in a tiny fry pan, pour in the egg and let it cook for a minute. Doesn't need turning or anything done to it. Very quick, easy, and non-messy and I serve it with grated cheese.

What about Greek yoghurt with blueberries (you could buy a packet of frozen ones from the supermarket, and just tip a few into the yoghurt, they don't need to be thawed), with added chopped nuts, vanilla and cinnamon?

I like full fat greek yoghurt with mixed berries - the yoghurt fills you up- its really nice. If your husband finds the berries a bit tart he could sprinkle with a little Truvia or Splenda
