My normal breakfast is two egg equivalent of the egg beaters type of eggs. They come in small cartons in the dairy section of the store.

We started the<br that cinnamon helps the body to better absorb and use insulin. It does seem to help. I don't know if this helps any but sure hope so.<br Hi Cheeks: I too cannot eat any kind of breakfast

Cheeky, I can't eat breakfast cereals either as they cause my bs to rise. For breakfast I eat yogurt with fruit, like a banana, Canadian bacon, whole grain toast, omelettes made with egg beaters (are they available there?), cottage cheese. Of course, I only have one of these examples at a time!!! We've lived in the Middle East and am wondering if you could eat some feta cheese on a piece of bread and olives. We used to have that all the time when we lived in Turkey. Just make the piece of bread a small one. Has this helped?<br Hello! Cheeky, I can’t eat breakfast cereals

I know what things I shouldn't eat and the list seems so all-inclusive. I've become afraid of fruit because of their sweetness, so your pointer on apples vs. oranges/bananas was really helpful to me. It also helps to know that we all struggle with changing our diets. While I'm not currently on meds (control via diet), I tend to "swing" (nothing to large meals) instead of multiple small meals. I "should" have realized all this myself, but it's nice when someone points it out! jo Sandra — Thx for some good advise on eating. I

With diabetes, sometimes when the blood sugars are too high, it starves the brain for oxygen, thus the emotional swing or instant anger. Stress makes the pancreas spasm more, and produces more problems for the blood sugars. If a person doesn't keep it under control, the body can steal insulin from the muscles if it is not accepting it's own insulin. It can make a person very very sick. I suggest you go with her to her next visit to the doctor who treats her diabetes. Many diabetics are on "happy pills" like Paxil, or Prozac or some sort of medicine that can calm her. It is common for diabetics to suffer derpression and anxieties. Is a licensed dietician available to her? Most diabetics, it usually takes about 2 years to <!--more--> learn how to eat as they should. She is always safe eating protiens, vegetables and fresh fruits like apples. She needs to watch oranges and bananas, which are higher in sugar. Do you have a licensed dietician near by? I was lucky to have one and still do. She should eat 8 to 10 tiny little meals a day to keep her blood sugars stabilized. Take three meals a day, divide the portions up from normal meals and have her do that. Watch the starches. Have her look up more diabetic meals on the internet. Good Luck. She will get it if she tries. BUT SHE HAS TO EAT.
