Breakfast is a vital meal for everyone, including those with diabetes - as it plays a key role in regulating blood sugar metabolism. Breaking your overnight fast with the right food can help maintain a steady supply of glucose, which is essential for energy production. Abbas Kanani, a pharmacist from Chemist Click, has suggested three delicious options that could help keep your blood sugar levels balanced.
He said: "Focus on eating foods which help stabilise insulin and blood sugar such as whole-grain bread and plain Greek yoghurt. Eggs are also beneficial for regulating blood sugar levels for people with diabetes because they are high in protein. "This not only slows digestion; it also slows glucose absorption." With this advice, why not try a vegetable omelette or eggs on whole-grain toast for breakfast?.
But remember, what you avoid is just as important as what you consume, reports the Express. Kanani advised: "It's best to stay away from sweetened drinks for breakfast. Instead drink herbal teas, unsweetened tea or coffee and water.". He also warned: "Fruit juices and smoothies are nutritious drinks for breakfast, but diabetics should check whether they contain added sugars before drinking them for breakfast.".
