LatelLately my sugars have dropped alot so I can have some different foods. This morning I had a whole wheat flatbread.....with peanut butter slathered on one side and a very thin layer of honey on the other side....then a small banana whole laid across it.........roll it up and it is a yummy filling breakfast with carbs, protein and fruit. The honey I should likely have skipped but it was only a little and my sugars are fine right now! YUMMY AND FAST!!

I don't know how anyone go without breakfast.
Me is a bowl of porriidge and sugar as this is low GI for me and lasts me most of the day and it prevents lows.

Hello Mike,

I'm new to the forum but I have type 1 diabetes. What is your blood sugar level two hours after eating your breakfast?

Usually one of the following:

- South Beach high protein bar, (I like the Cinnamon Raisin)
- 1 slice Brownberry Carb Control bread toasted with 1 tbsp. peanut butter
- Atkins Caramel Double Chocolate Crunch bar
- low carb tortilla with 2 slices smoked ham lunchmeat & 1 oz. cheese
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese

Weekends: Egg or eggbeater omelette with ham, cheese, green pepper, & onion OR Ham egg and cheese sandwich

Breakfast is definitely the hardest meal to control for BG rise. All these test well for me.

FTW

I use Symlin and I never spike when I eat 1 cup of Cheerios in 1 cup of 1% milk. Same thing almost every day while I'm dieting. Twice a month, I'll go crazy and have a bacon and cheese omelette with wheat toast.

I'm with you on skipping breakfast. I feel weak if I don't eat something. My breakfast is mostly eggs and grits with some toast and good jelly! Also, gotta have my coffee.

Same here. Why is that? I usually have to give a 7:1 ratio at breakfast, and a 17:1 at lunch but if I skip breakfast, I have to use my b-fast bolus at lunch time.

I usually eat an english muffin with a bit of PB and J, and a glass of skim milk.

I'm a flax junky so whatever I have will include either a slice of microwave flax bread or a couple tablespoons of flax meal mixed in with it.
Most of the time it's a couple eggs fried in olive oil and covered with red pepper. Sometimes a cup of low carb yogurt with the flax mixed in.

3/4 cup Special K Protein Plus, 1/2 small banana, some berries (raspberries, blueberries or blackberries), and soy milk. Every single day, unless I'm traveling, in which case it's eggs and as much pork (bacon, sausage, ham) as I can stuff in my face without needing to keep a cardiologist on speaker phone while I eat it. Fortunately, I don't travel all that much . . .

My after breakfast readings have been way too high all the time, so I'm still working out what works best for me.

So far, eating a toasted egg and cheese sandwich on light bread has been easy on me. (I think anything with eggs might do, so long as the carb count is not high!) I have it with coffe.
