A Better Breakfast

Here is the latest question from foodpicker.org:
I have type 2 diabetes and am having trouble with breakfast.  It seems so many breakfast foods are high in carbs.  Could you give me some breakfast ideas that are diabetic friendly?

You can have cereal, toast, waffles, pancakes even muffins, but make sure you choose whole grain versions of them and watch your portion sizes. For example choose a high fiber cereal like raisin bran or oatmeal. Try whole wheat waffles and pancakes with sugar free syrup. Have half a bran muffin. Include some protein like low fat cheese or an egg to round out the meal and make it more satisfying. A great way to get more veggies in is to make a vegetable omelet. To cut down on the fat and cholesterol use egg whites and add in any veggies you have in the fridge- add a piece of whole wheat toast and you’ve got a delicious, healthy breakfast that any diabetic could feel good about eating!
