I used to be able to eat old fshioned, not instant, oameal , unsweetened,
wih only a tiny bit of milk(1-2 Tbs) when I was in a poition to walk quite
soon after breakfast. NOw that walking is a probem dues to sciatica, etc.
I ccannot eat it now and find two dectent breakfasts for me. One, and the
bst is 1/3-1/2 C cottage cheese, 3 or 4 different fruits and berries in
SMALL amounts like 1-3 strawberries, a handful of blue,black or
rasp-berries, 1/4 a moderate apple, 1/2 a clementine(small) orange, 1/5
-1/6 of a mango, 4-6 fresh cherries. I top this wth either plain yougurt
or sour cream adn have it with my black coffee. My other breakfast is 2
eggs or equivalent in egg ubstitute, 2 Wasa or Ryevita, whole grain rye
crackers with some of my no-sugar added home made fruit jam adn the black
coffee. I might have a bit of cream cheese, omega 3 margarine etc on
tthose crackers(thy=ey are quite large crackers, not like triscits, etc.

Have you ever tested at say, 30,60.90,120 to see if you spike?

I'm planning to do that once I get within range. I wonder what numbers would still be considered acceptable, assuming you're within range in two hours.
