Gabsmycat - The person above is right... if you notice it's mostly protein and veg (in the omlet) and only 1 slice of whole grain toast. I personally can't eat the toast, it will bring me up over 200 in a heartbeat. Oatmeal is ok but I have issues with that as well.
I need milk for another health issue but I drink a glass every morning and even though it has a lot of milk sugar... and does raise the glucose. (almond milk tastes good but you gotta watch them for added sugar)
Tabea - A diabetic can eat anything as long as their blood sugar remains in a safe range 2 hours after eating. Safe is under 140 mg/dl, or 7.8 mm/ol.
In practice this means low carb as carb is what raises blood sugar. Also most of us are pretty insulin-resistant in the morning.
The best is a low-carb option that is made up of protein (and veg), for example bacon and eggs.
You can forget about most other traditional breakfast foods, they are mostly extremely high in carbs and will send blood sugar rising far above safe levels.
Kai - I vote for an omelette (using only the whites if you want) with tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms, spinach/swiss chard--or making something like egg foo yung (chinese omelette) using bean sprouts, chopped celery, bok choy, shrimp or pork or chicken. Although I generally just eat whatever is leftover from the previous night's dinner ('cause I'm too sleepy to cook anything on work days)--leftover chicken and veggies, leftover beef and veggies, mustard greens and pork, etc. But I also like soup for breakfast since often my stomach is a bit queasy (from my Metformin the night before) and nice clear chicken broth with veggies thrown in, maybe some slices of chicken settles it down plus give me protein which I need to unfog my sleepy head.
It's Nick! - How about:
ReplyDelete•1 egg white omelet: 16 calories, 0.1 grams of fat, 0.2 carbs
•
•1 slice mixed grain toast: 75 calories, 1.2 grams of fat, 12.3 carbs
•1 slice of ham: 46 calories, 2.4 grams of fat, 1.1 carbs
This breakfast adds up to 137 calories, 3.7 grams of fat, 13.6 carbs.
or
Scrambled Egg Wraps
or Blueberry pancakes with a peach smoothie?
