So frustrating! Then I switched to eggs but then my daughter became deathly allergic to them, aarrgh! Anyway, if something is really hard for me to eat I just don't eat it except for special occasions. I've just gotten so tired of struggling.

I do put a little bit of a granola cereal on it to give it a boost. I've eaten cereal just about every day my entire life and could just not give it up. This cereal and sometimes an egg on the side do help.<br />Enjoyed D-Blog week!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441855736336430014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-35816215867889441652012-05-26T07:44:56.660-04:002012-05-26T07:44:56.660-04:00YOU totally CAN do it!!!

Even oatmeal and bran flakes caused a big spike for me. If I really wanted cereal very much, I would eat it at lunch since my insulin sensitivity is higher then, and I usually exercise soon after that meal. I actually don't eat cereal at any time of day now. There are things I like better for lunch.

Managing everything she eats can be so infuriating with her numbers nonsensical. Right now I'm focused on getting her friends' parents comfortable having her over, especially for sleep overs.

I have my box of Honey Nut Cheerios, non-fat milk and add up the carbs to 38 grams and it usually works for me...but that depends on every other variable. No two days are alike.
