I'm not a big cereal lover. I've always preferred dinner leftovers my whole life. However, since being diagnosed 3/28/13 with a BG of 458 I've had to tweak my diet just a little.
I tried oatmeal and my BG spiked. A good friend of mine said he tried Kashi Go Lean and his BG went down. I gave it a try and although mine didn't go down it didn't go up much either.
I keep containers of cooked barley (made with beef broth, onions, garlic & herbes de provence, lentils (made with chicken broth, onions, garlic & thyme), brown rice (chicken broth) and quinoa (chicken broth, tomatoes, onion, garlic and lots of curry powder).
I also keep containers of cooked green vegetables in the fridge.
For breakfast I'll have a cup of one of the grains, some of the vegies mixed in and a hardboiled egg. I'll also sprinkle on a tablespoon of flaxseed that I coarsely grind in an old coffee grinder.
My fasting BG has been under 100 for nearly two weeks and my post prandials have been under 140 !
I can't tell you how thrilled I am...
