RE: More Breakfast ideas please

[Guest guest]

What kind of cereal are you eating Wayne? Your HbA1C readings are great!!!

but 200 is too high. I get readings like that no matter what kind of cereal

I eat... so I don't eat it. I have hard boiled eggs in the morning most of

the time. They are quick and easy. You must be doing something right to

have that HbA1c, although you may be having some pretty low lows to offset

those 200 readings. The problem with HbA1c's is that they are the 'average'

over the last 3 months.

Are you low carbing, very low carbing, or moderate carbing. You might want

to watch your portions... Give us an idea of a daily menu.

More Breakfast ideas please

Hello all,

I am looking for some more breakfast ideas. Currently, I have a bowl of cold

cereal just about every am. Mostly because it is easy to fix and I have been

having cereal for years. My readings after eating breakfast are ~200.

Generally, they are ~85 after rising in the am.

I am type 2 and was dx'd at the end of 2000. I have had the following HbA1C

readings since then. 5.2, 5.0, 5.7, 5.4. <snipped>

Hi! My breakfast ideas are sausage, bacon eggs, egg salad, left-over

chicken, omlet with green peppers, onions, cheese etc., Optimum Nutrition

100% egg protein shake from GNC, Each serving has 3 carbs. I love the

chocolate.

I'm a huge fan of Keto shakes, we have them EVERY morning for breakfast and

haven't gotten tired of them yet.

You can get them for about $15 plus shipping through Netrition.

My latest 'recipe' -- half cappucino, half chocolate fudge shake mix,

whipping cream, ice, and some brewed coffee -- DELICIOUS. They really fill

you up and stay with you for some time.

This was an oops, please excuse me. My post/request did not come

through, perhaps it will show up, but what I wanted here was for

someone to please explain the glycemic index. I think I understand

the concept and I understand the words, it is just that no picture is

forming in my mind. is so good at explaining these

things..., if you are reading, please enlighten us " slower " ones

on how this is read and used.

Because the carb counts don't give the total picture, Art. The Glycemic

Index measures the actual impact on the systems of a large number of test

subjects. Highly-processed grains such as are in cereals whack us beyond

their carb counts, it turns out.

Susie,

Please don't misunderstand, but is there a way to explain this in terms I

understand? <VBG>

Susie's gone from the list for a few days with family stuff so I'll

answer...I think she's basically saying that cereal and grain products will

raise our BGs way high.
