Breakfast menu for a diabetic or others who wanted to live healthy

All of which can be made quickly and easily and contain the right number of calories and carbohydrates which your body will need.

Menu 1 - For this you need to get 1 slice of whole wheat bread which you toast to your own particular liking. Then on to the toast you can either place 1/4 cup of egg substitute or cottage cheese. However if you want something a little more warm and substantial in the morning replace the cottage cheese/egg substitute with 1/2 cup of oatmeal mixed with 1/2 cup of skimmed milk. Plus you are also allowed 1/2 of a small banana.

Menu 2 - This one is even far easier to make than the menu mentioned above. Take 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries and drink 1 cup of fat free or low fat milk with them. However if you want in place of the blueberries instead have a small blueberry muffin or other type of breakfast pastry with a cup of fat free milk.

Menu 3 - Although not as quick to prepare as the second sample breakfast menu in this article, it is quicker than the first one. Take two toasted slices of whole wheat bread and on to these spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. As well as the toast you can also have a cup of tea or coffee (if adding milk use the low fat or the fat free variety) and one small banana.

When you are preparing any of the menus above in order to ensure that your blood sugar levels remain constant it is best that you eat at the same time each day. However, what you must never do is avoid having any breakfast at all.

Plus with all the sample breakfast menu for diabetics that you see in this article as well as on the internet, you need to make sure that you use the exact amounts of food mentioned. Otherwise this could actually further aggravate rather than help to control the symptoms associated with diabetes.
