Breakfast

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Could some of my diabetic friends explain why eating 2 eggs and one piece of white toast would raise my blood sugar levels to 221? It went back down 2 hours after eating but was confused why the eggs and 1 slice of toast would raise it that way. I wasn't that hungry this morning so i just ate the 2 eggs and one piece of white toast. I have a hard time figuring out what to eat for breakfast so if anyone has any suggestions on what they have for breakfast i would appreciate the advice. I do not… read more

Great answer from Jennifer wIthe. That said my gram used to say “the whiter your bread the sooner your dead “ I eat mostly spinach cheese omelets no bread for my breakfast.. trial and error on better breads may be worth trying . When I do eat breads my best results for the taste are with Dave’s all seed bread thin sliced

White bread or toast is the problem. Try a whole grain toast and add veggies to your eggs. Green leafy veggies like spinach help moderate sugar spikes.

@A DiabetesTeam Member I had to relearn everything about food and eating, from the ground up, when I adopted a diabetes diet. White bread is a definite no-no. Whole wheat bread is better for diabetics than the white bread. Same is true for rice-with brown rice being better than the white, and pasta-use the whole grain variety. I removed all bread from my diet at first and then slowly added back in only low-carb bread-like Joseph's and Dave's killer brands. Most diabetics stop eating starchy vegetable like potatoes and corn as well. Over time I found tasty alternatives. I switched from white bread decades ago and now it tastes like cake to me-super sweet, people's taste adjust with time to healthier options. Take care
