i have been a diabetic since 1998. i am not on any meds or insulin. my previous doctor did not have me checking my sugar after meals. the new doctor im seeing told me to check my sugar 2 hours after eating. my post lunch sugars have been around 108-114. dinner is around 125-140. but im having problems with breakfast. i thought i was eating healthy. for instance this morning i had a bowl of special k and two hours later my sugar was 259. i took it again 20 min later and it was 162. i dont have a lot of time in the morning to cook as i have to be at work so i need something simple. any suggestions.

There was an article in the indianapolis star that said putting cinnamon on things will help regulate insulin. This really does work. My dad is diabetic, and he will eat a whole grain cereal for breakfast with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top along with blueberries also in it, then he will have his coffee with of course a sprinkle of cinnamon, and he will also have a side of cherries. He had noticed a huge impovement after he started putting cinnamon on his breakfast food. He said he was able to eat bread without it really affecting him.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Hi, Diana!
I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. In addition to only 20% calories from fat and lots of complex carbs, I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.
Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:
Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate
Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--
"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313
The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

Are you using sugar on the Special K? If you are, it could be a problem and you might want to try a non-nutritive sweetener like Splenda.
A slice of toast (or half an English Muffin, or half a bagel) and some fruit with a glass of skim milk might make a change of pace for you.

make sure you check the ingredients, check anything that has frutose ect>> ose, tos, salts it all plays a part, then do not forget they change the wording so you may have over looked it looking for a certain word and they have and artificle name for sugar, be careful and make sure you keep orange juice or glucose which is used for to much sugar, diabetic coma ect...
best i can recommend for breakfast is oatmeal and it's the healtest
