[QUOTE="cold ethyl, post: 557324, member: 107467"] I'd be knocking the breakfast cereals on the head for a start and the bread tbh. You say one slice is ok, but you are actually having two slices most days and then more carbs with your evening meals. Baked beans are loaded with sugar, even the low sugar ones so I'd not be having them either. Your menu seems very carb heavy to me given that you want to reduce your BS levels to within the recommended targets( an ideally lower.) Perhaps you could try a cooked breakfast without bread or greek yoghurt and some berries and seeds/nuts. Cereals ay breakfast are not really an option for most of us and your post- breakfast levels are pretty high on that list. Pot Noodle isn't really a diabetic option as it will be full of carbs and other nasties- and this is reflected in the 14.2 post meal test- the NICE target is 8.5 which is pretty generous and ideally we should be aiming much lower. Have a look at the what have you eaten today thread for some meal ideas that might be better for you, and keep testing as only then will you know what suits you. [/QUOTE]
