I hate breakfast, now I am forced to eat it as I am required to by my medicines. Never ate for 50 years since my military where cockroaches were an extra meat ration with my full English. But yes taking medicine requires food so one Weetabix is normal choice or slice of toast for occasional difference. As my wife does not get up usually until 2 pm I do get a combined late brunch depending on her mood. But I am a person that eats to live and have little interest in what I eat as long as it is unhealthy and tasty!

Hi everyone 👋
Let’s talk about mornings!
If you’re living with diabetes, you’ve probably heard that breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, but when you eat it can make a difference, too. Some people need food right after waking up, while others wait a little and base it on how they’re feeling or what their blood sugar looks like.

For some members, testing before and after breakfast has helped them find what works best. Others have shared that high-fiber or protein-rich foods in the morning make a big difference.
This space is here for you to share what helps, and maybe learn a new idea or two along the way.
Take care,
Somya from the Carenity team 🌼
