my typical breakfast was the
greek yogurt
a teaspoon of the powdered cinnamon stir it in the plain yogurt looks like it is chocolate color.
then drop some nuts say walnuts or almonds or brazil .
this is a very high protein high fat meal with very little carbs.
you can vary it with a few blueberries or a small banana.
I could list what fruits work for me, but you could be different as body chemistry matter.
Bad fruit for me:
Oranges
Grapes
Raisins.
Good fruit.
Blueberries
Strawberries
Banana
Apples
Pears .
Worst foods.
Bread
Pasta
cereals.As for a1c I was 12.1 when discovered which is basically dude you are dying do something.
With my a1c in the 5.3 to 6.3 range it is much much much better.
The reason I highlighted the worst food is that they are all processed food nothing organic in it.
I have one thing to share that home made stuff doesn't increases blood sugar compared to processed food. My blood sugar remains under control if I eat home made pizza to my full but my Glucose Meter gives terrible readings if I eat 2 slices of pizza ordered from nearest Pizza hut.
Same behaviour with 'Halwa Puri' a traditional dish in south Asia that is not recommended for diabetes. Just google to see what 'halwa puri' looks like.
The point I want to highlight is that even if you are going for cheat meal then better prepare it at home.
