Diabetes UK experts share two-ingredient breakfast that avoids glucose spikes

From msn.com

After being diagnosed with diabetes, people will need to make major diet changes. But, swapping out your usual meals doesn't have to result in boring ones - with Diabetes UK experts sharing that you can still enjoy treats like pancakes for breakfast - just a little differently.

You'll need two mashed bananas and a lightly beaten egg to start. Afterwards, you can personally pick your favourite toppings with good choices including fruit and yoghurt.

The method to produce these protein-packed pancakes (20g per serving) is simple. Just mix the two ingredients together to form a batter, then add a ladleful of mixture to a frying pan that has been spritzed with cooking spray.

Cook each pancake for about two minutes on each side until golden and repeat the process using up the batter. Once ready, eat straight away with your chosen toppings.

People with diabetes can eat bananas as part of a balanced diet - but this should still be in moderation. It might be better to eat less ripe (green) bananas instead of classic yellow ones as less-ripe fruits lead to a slower, more manageable increase in blood sugar.

Eggs are low in carbohydrates and have a low glycaemic index, which means they don't significantly affect blood sugar levels. Again, they should still be eaten in moderation as overeating eggs has also been linked to an increase in type 2 diabetes.
