A 70-year-old endocrinologist shared the information about which breakfast saved him from diabetes –👇

Why is breakfast so important?

Your blood sugar level in the morning depends not only on what you ate the previous day, but also on how you start your day.

Typical morning meals, such as sweet oatmeal, bread with jam, or yogurt with fruit, cause a sharp rise in glucose levels, followed by a strong insulin surge. The effect is familiar to many people – after two hours, you feel tired and hungry, and your blood sugar levels gradually rise throughout the day.

📌 The journal  Diabetologia  notes that the first meal of the day influences the entire glycemic profile, including evening glucose levels.

My "old" kind of breakfast

• Oatmeal with milk and honey

• Tea with sugar

• Bread and butter

• Sometimes a banana

At first glance, this sounds like a "healthy" breakfast, but for a person with impaired carbohydrate metabolism, it is a direct path to sudden spikes in sugar levels and pancreatic overload.

What my breakfast looks like today and why everything has changed

• 2 hard-boiled or poached eggs

• Green leaf salad, cucumber and olive oil

• A small avocado or 5-6 nuts

• Warm buckwheat or quinoa (2–3 tablespoons, no more)

• Herbal tea or lemon water
