What Can Diabetics Eat For Breakfast (Best and Worst Foods)

Not everyone is the same. Not everyone’s numbers are gonna be the same. They seem to treat you like a number instead of a individual person. what works for some may not work for all when it comes to your numbers and the way you process food.

We’re happy to be of help! 🙂

Glad to hear that!

I prefer eggs and pork and perhaps a slice of zero carb bread. On occasion I’ll make some low carb pancakes that are around one carb per cake. There are some good recipes for egg muffins with spinach and a bit of tomato and cheese. Fish is also acceptable. Just stay away from fruit and grains.

You can always fry onions or peppers before the eggs with the pork, it’s very nice.

@ekscentar1 I normally use peppers in my omelets but be aware tomatoes, onions, peppers are not low carb but rather medium carb so you need to limit how much of them you eat.

@ekscentar1 You’ve mentioned what most don’t seem to understand. You do have to limit what you eat to keep your diabetes under control. I allow myself 12 carbs per day max and have for 30 years now. At the same time I control my weight by how many calories I eat.

Eggs, omelets with vegetables, meats, almond flour pancakes, smoothies, nuts, tomato or v8 juice.

I eat shreded whole wheat squares with no additives. No sugar. Just have plain wheat squares a half of a unripe banana. Not every day but maybe 3 times a week.

I’ve been type 2 for 25 years. First 12 years took pills. My A1C would average 6.5-7.5. I went to an endocrinologist in 2012. He put me on insulin because I have only one kidney. Doc said insulin was cleanest way to go.Once I figured out the carb intake to insulin ratio I eat what I want. My A1C ranges in mid 5’s. Just be careful of too much insulin as you’ll get a low blood sugar. It’s time for orange juice, soda, anything with sugar to bring it back up.

oatmeal is gluten free and you don’t have to load it with sugary stuff, savory oatmeal is rather good. brown rice as well for a nice congee. there’s also gluten free breads and other baked goods

Wish this information was more available earlier in my life. Of course choosing what to eat is a personal choice and decision, but it is a travesty that the FDA allowed so many “nutritional” breakfast products without sufficient warning or limitations – diabetic and obesity levels really increased starting in the 60-70’s thanks to Big Food – nowadays, almost every isle in the supermarket is filled with processed foot and low nutritional foods packed with sugar and carbs. My A1C is 5.5 even though I blend my own veg & fruit smoothies and veg soups, with no rice bread or potatoes sodas 5-6 days a week since my mid-50’s, but prior to this I ate way too much supermarket processed foods and sweet drinks. Wish I would have started my current diet as a child. Big Food marketing – works on so many people who shop at the big box supermarkets that’s for sure.

Over a 24 hour period you can’t pinpoint something specific unless you only ate one thing. A CGM will give you near immediate feedback, but looking up a food would accomplish about the same thing.

Hi there! Type 2 diabetics who are serious cyclists should focus on eating nutrient-dense, low-glycemic-index foods to provide sustained energy during long rides. This may include foods such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

It’s also important to stay hydrated during the ride and to consume enough electrolytes to prevent dehydration.

It is always best to consult with a medical professional, dietitian or nutritionist for personalized advice regarding diabetes and cycling nutrition.

Not having breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Fast and break your fast later in the day. Intermittent fasting allows your body to recover and heal.

Somebody just told me her sister is diabetic or high glucose, she stopped eating breakfast altogether and her diabetes went away. I said hum
