[QUOTE="chris lowe, post: 602360"] First get yourself a blood glucose monitor, then get a Little Gem (Collins) Carb Counter. I got mine on Amazon for a couple of quid. Choose what you fancy for breakfast, check the carb content from the book. Eat and re test 2 hours later. If it goes sky high, cross it off your list of foodstuffs, if it's not more than 2 points higher you can probably tolerate that food. For breakfast I often have eggs, fried, boiled, scrambled, poached or any way you fancy with a slice of Bergen which is a lower carb bread than most of the others. You can get a low carb bread in Sainsbury's HiLo, but it is more expensive. Ring the changes by adding bacon or good quality sausage. I know it seems like a bit of a faff, but it's the only way to get your levels under control and as time goes on it'll be 2nd nature. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
