Diabetes type 2 - the best breakfast diet to prevent high blood sugar

From express.co.uk

DIABETES type 2 risk could be reduced by making changes to your diet plan, and you could prevent high blood sugar symptoms by following this diabetes breakfast regime every morning.

Diabetes type 2 affects about 3.7 million people in the UK, and 90 per cent of those are caused by type 2, according to the NHS.
You could lower your risk of high blood sugar by making small changes to your diet.
Breakfast is a particularly important meal for diabetics, said LloydsPharmacy to Express.co.uk.
People that eat breakfast find it easier to maintain their weight, as they tend to eat less during the day, it said.
The very best breakfast includes semi-skimmed or skimmed milk, instead of whole milk, it added.

“Eat a wholegrain breakfast cereal such as porridge or shredded wholegrain wheat cereal with no added sugar, instead of a sugar-coated breakfast,” said LloydsPharmacy.
“Top your cereal with fresh or dried fruit that counts towards one of your five-a-day instead of sprinkling with sugar.
“Choose lower-fat or fat-free Greek yoghurt or natural low-fat yoghurt instead of a full-fat yoghurt.”
If you have diabetes, the best breakfast dishes include porridge with mashed banana and dried blueberries, and muesli with fresh fruit and low-fat yogurt, it said.
Alternatively, try scrambled eggs or an omelette with wholemeal toast.

“Everyone should aim to eat a healthy diet, but it’s particularly important if you’re at risk of diabetes,” said LloydsPharmacy.
“Eating healthy isn’t always easy, especially if you’re short of time.”
If you don’t have time in the morning to create a culinary breakfast delight, smoothies are a great choice for diabetes patients.
Breakfast bars may also help to keep you full, without causing sudden blood sugar spikes.
About 60 per cent of type 2 diabetes cases could be delayed, or even prevented, by making lifestyle changes, said the pharmacy.

Diabetes type 2 is caused by the pancreas not producing enough of the hormone insulin, or the body not reacting to insulin.
Without enough insulin, the body struggles to convert sugar in the blood into useable energy.
Symptoms include fatigue, passing more urine than normal, and having an unquenchable thirst.
See a GP if you have any of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes.
Your doctor can diagnose diabetes with a quick blood test.
