Re: Here are some breakfast ideas

[Guest guest]

,

Your breakfast ideas sound wonderful, but if I ate those things, I would be

running really high blood sugars-or I would have to take large amounts of

insulin to combat the amount of carbs and as says, " large doses mean

large mistakes " .

Here are some breakfast ideas

Hi all,

here are some ideas for breakfast that some of you might like.

from Down Under

Breakfast Basics

1. Start with some fruit or juice. Fruit contributes fibre, and more

importantly Vitamin C and antioxidants.

2. Try some breakfast cereal. Cereals are important as a source of fibre,

Vitamin B and iron. When choosing processed breakfast cereals, look for

those with a high fibre content.

3. Add milk or yoghurt. Low fat milk and yoghurts can make a valuable

contribution to your daily calcium intake, by including them at breakfast.

All of them have a low GI value. Lower fat varieties have just as much, or

more, calcium as full cream milk.

4 add some bread or toast if you like.

Your quick low fat and low GI Breakfast ideas

1. Spread raisin toast with low fat cream cheese and top with slice apple.

2. Top a slice of - oat bran and honey loaf with slice banana.

3. Sprinkle porridge with raisins and brown sugar.

4. Enjoy a low fat milk shake.

5. Spoon slice peaches and raspberries through a tub of low fat yoghurt.

6. Top a bowl of All-Bran and low fat milk with canned pears slices.

7. Smear avocado on bread and top with baked beans.

8. Team a bowl of Guardian cereal and low fat milk with a glass of fresh

orange juice.

9. Top a heavy grain fruit bread with fresh ricotta.

10. Enjoy a steamy hot chocolate with low fat milk and whole grain toast

with favourite spread.

Hi .

Please do not take this the wrong way, I am posting this for new people to get

another angle on this. All the foods listed below are really high in

carbohydrate and should be limited. For example, a bowl of cereal is 20 to 30

grams , 1/2 cup orange juice 15 grams, 1 slice of raisin toast 15 grams, 1 cup

of milk 12 grams, 1 container of small yogurt 30 to 45 grams, etc.

You could easily rack up over 60 to 90 grams of carbs following those foods for

breakfast and most who carbohydrate count recommend no more than 90 grams a day.

.. I know that Australia follows a modified American diabetes exchange diet that

is high in carbs, lower on meets/fats and tosses in some GI instruction there.

However, it still is very high in carbs that break down to sugar and make

managing diabetes difficult.

I know several folks from down under that refuse to lesson carbs and think it is

ok to eat all that because they were told it was the thing to do by doctors,

nurses, and diabetic educators and cannot get past that. It is a shame that the

medical professionals are not yet distancing themselves from the American

diabetes association exchange diet that is terrible for controlling blood sugar

which all of us on list can agree to who have followed it in past.

Having the high insulin resistance that I have would cause me to dose a lot

of insulin at each meal. If I ate a breakfast of a bowl of oat meal, with a

little milk on it and drank a glass of orange juice and topped it off with a

yogurt, that would be 70 or 80 grams of carbs for me at a single meal,

breakfast, requiring me to dose between 35 and 40 units of Humalog just for

my body to handle that single breakfast. I prefer to stick to consuming 15

grams of carbs per meal and ocasionally splurging to a grand total of 90

carbs for a single meal infrequently.

Good morning Cheryl,

Since I am up bright and early this morning I will offer an opinion.

One of the problems with needing larger doses of insulin is the

possibility of miscalculating and dose and having some real problems

with low blood sugar.

and Harry will tell you (along with Pat) " small amounts, small

mistakes. Large amounts, large mistakes. "

Since calculating the amount of insulin required to counteract a given

number of carbs is not an exact science there always exists the

possibility of a mistake.

There are so many variables involved such as what other things were

ingested along with the carbs. For example if you had eaten a piece of

toast loaded with some yummy jam, enjoyed a glass of orange juice and

had some delicious bacon or sausage along with a fried (1 or more) egg

for breakfast calculating the amount of insulin needed is going to be a

real thrill - because - the grease in the bacon, sausage and fried egg

is going to have an effect on how fast the carbs hit and are processed

by your system. The grease will tend to slow down the absorption of the

carbs and you may well have already processed the insulin before the

anticipated carbs hit the works. This will cause you to bottom out

because there are not many carbs to deal with when the insulin hits the

system. Now, after you have processed the insulin and bottomed out then

here come those carbs which were delayed by the grease and there is no

insulin to counteract them so your sugar level goes right on up through

the roof.

Now, the other scenario may well be that you had the loded toast, orange

juice, a poched egg or two, some milk but you ate a broiled piece of

meat.

Since there islittle grease involved the carbs should hit just about as

calculated and the insulin should do its thing in about the same amount

of time and all lived happily forever after.

Along with what Cy says you might consider the following. Excessive amounts

of insulin are one of the prime causes of arterial inflamation, which raises

your CRP level. Your CRP (C-reactive protein) level is one of the prime

indicators of an impending heart attack. Do you know your CRP level? You

should!

I am just curious when insulin becomes " a lot " of insulin. I'm probably one

of the few on this list who does not eat specifically low carb, all I do is

count my carbs so I can determine the insulin dose, yet I don't think I take

that much insulin compared to others my age. Have there been any studies to

find out how much insulin a non-diabetic produces?

Jen

[Guest guest]

I don't know of studies of which you speak, but I do know about CRP levels.

If your CRP is in the danger zone, you might wish to consider how to reduce

your dependence on insulin , or at least how to reduce your CRP level. What

ever amount of insulin it takes to keep your blood sugar level under control

is what it takes no matter what. I remember reading a post here in the past

year or two that one person was injecting 60 units of Lantus each day. I

thought that was rather excessive, but it may be necessary, since I am now

approaching a daily dose of 40 units of Lantus per day. Presently, I

require 38-39 units of Lantus each day.

Hi Harry,

Inflamation of the vessle lining can be a very, very serious problem as

it exaserbates the clotting process and blood clots are not at all a

healthy situation..

My Ex developed a blood clot which extended from her ankle to her groin.

It is a miracle she survived to tell about it.

The initial Cat Scans (spelling) missed the fact that she had Deep Veign

Thrombosis and it was only when she could not walk because she got so

short of breath that they discovered that there was a major problem.

When she got to the hospital in Tulsa there was a large clot just ready

to enter the heart. Her lungs were completely covered with small clots.

How she lived is still a mystry.

When the Clot Guru came to talk with me he first said if I prayed, knew

anyone who prayed or belonged to any group which prayed it would be a

good idea to crank them up because that was the only way she was going

to make it.

Amazing! Yup, I have a whole lot more respect for the CRP information

than I did before that go round.,... (smile)

Hi Harry,

Inflamation of the vessle lining can be a very, very serious problem as

it exaserbates the clotting process and blood clots are not at all a

healthy situation..

My Ex developed a blood clot which extended from her ankle to her groin.

It is a miracle she survived to tell about it.

The initial Cat Scans (spelling) missed the fact that she had Deep Veign

Thrombosis and it was only when she could not walk because she got so

short of breath that they discovered that there was a major problem.

When she got to the hospital in Tulsa there was a large clot just ready

to enter the heart. Her lungs were completely covered with small clots.

How she lived is still a mystry.

When the Clot Guru came to talk with me he first said if I prayed, knew

anyone who prayed or belonged to any group which prayed it would be a

good idea to crank them up because that was the only way she was going

to make it.

Amazing! Yup, I have a whole lot more respect for the CRP information

than I did before that go round.,... (smile)

Cy, the Ancient Okie...

Re: Here are some breakfast ideas

Along with what Cy says you might consider the following. Excessive

amounts

of insulin are one of the prime causes of arterial inflamation, which

raises

your CRP level. Your CRP (C-reactive protein) level is one of the prime

indicators of an impending heart attack. Do you know your CRP level?

You

should!

I am glad she lived. I am pretty sure prayers help lots of folks, and I am

positive that daily doses of niacin can prevent blood clots, too. In my

opinion niacin is better than aspirin.

it is risky. you can pass out and it leads to weight gain which as a diabetic,

we don't want since lower weight means lower complications and likewise, lower

insulin means lower risks.

Here are some breakfast ideas

Hi all,

here are some ideas for breakfast that some of you might like.

from Down Under

Breakfast Basics

1. Start with some fruit or juice. Fruit contributes fibre, and more

importantly Vitamin C and antioxidants.

2. Try some breakfast cereal. Cereals are important as a source of fibre,

Vitamin B and iron. When choosing processed breakfast cereals, look for

those with a high fibre content.

3. Add milk or yoghurt. Low fat milk and yoghurts can make a valuable

contribution to your daily calcium intake, by including them at breakfast.

All of them have a low GI value. Lower fat varieties have just as much, or

more, calcium as full cream milk.

4 add some bread or toast if you like.

Your quick low fat and low GI Breakfast ideas

1. Spread raisin toast with low fat cream cheese and top with slice apple.

2. Top a slice of - oat bran and honey loaf with slice banana.

3. Sprinkle porridge with raisins and brown sugar.

4. Enjoy a low fat milk shake.

5. Spoon slice peaches and raspberries through a tub of low fat yoghurt.

6. Top a bowl of All-Bran and low fat milk with canned pears slices.

7. Smear avocado on bread and top with baked beans.

8. Team a bowl of Guardian cereal and low fat milk with a glass of fresh

orange juice.

9. Top a heavy grain fruit bread with fresh ricotta.

10. Enjoy a steamy hot chocolate with low fat milk and whole grain toast

with favourite spread.

Hi Jenn.

You can base that off how many carbs you eat per meal. If you are eating 60 plus

carbs at a meal, that is a lot of insulin. However, if you are eating 30 grams

of carbs per meal, that is a low amount of insulin and is more healthy in many

ways.

Regards,

Re: Here are some breakfast ideas

I am just curious when insulin becomes " a lot " of insulin. I'm probably one

of the few on this list who does not eat specifically low carb, all I do is

count my carbs so I can determine the insulin dose, yet I don't think I take

that much insulin compared to others my age. Have there been any studies to

find out how much insulin a non-diabetic produces?

Large amounts of insulin can cause inflammation in the vessels, but it also

makes it m ore likely for you to have a better chance of having a low

My wife just reminded me that the Atkins breakfast bars of apple crisp 13

grams of carbs and chocolate chip 14 grams of carbs are obtained from Sams,

not from Publix as earlier reported or inferred.

Harry,

I have no idea of my own CRP level, nor that of my son who is the diabetic

in my family. He has just had a series of blood tests, but I'm not sure if

that's one of the things that was tested.

Most doctors do not routinely test for the CRP level, so I would doubt if

you aare using a regular physician, that he or she tested for it.
