I’m on flexed dose of 3 units of Novorapid for breakfast. I have the ratio of 10g carbohydrates to 1unit of insulin so that means I need 30g carbohydrates for breakfast so I researched what are the best foods for your health?
It came up with chia, the superfood. This is a great source of fibre, so good for your bowels. The fibre helps decrease your LDL cholesterol & even slows your digestion. For diabetes, this lowers BGL spike, keeping you fuller for longer. When cooking , it has guey texture when moistened, so I say it’s like frogspawn.
So, for those reasons I chose to make it my star ingredient for my breakfast recipe:
42g chia seed (reasonable above)
250ml almond milk (low in calories, high in fibre, few carbohydrates, dairy free & high in vitamin D)
130g jam (homemade, berries baked & stevia to sweeten without effecting your BGL)
