My go-to breakfast (hint: oat groats) and ex of body's sensitivity to diet

My current favorite breakfast:

  • cooked oat groats + blueberries (microwaved 90 sec)
  • a little brown sugar
  • mixed nuts
  • whole milk

So good - and remarkably keeps my blood sugar stable after I dose 7.5 units of insulin. I’ve talked on and on about oat groats in many threads. I’m almost an oat groats fanatic.

But here’s why I’m posting this new topic - just to note that the other day I took my go-to breakfast and added about 1/4 of a banana to it - like five 1/4 inch slices of a banana. I may have even increased my insulin dose to 8 or 9.

That little bittty banana caused my blood sugar to rise (slowly) from about 110 to about 240. Without the banana, i get a bump from 110 to 130. Pretty whacky.

For me it is rice. One teaspoon of cooked rice cooks me.

I’m not so good with rice either. Especially tough when your wife is Korean. But she’s learned … mostly.

I was low and ate a banana just now, because your post inspired me. :grinning_face:
