Hi everyone 👋

Let’s talk about mornings!

If you’re living with diabetes, you’ve probably heard that breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, but when you eat it can make a difference, too. Some people need food right after waking up, while others wait a little and base it on how they’re feeling or what their blood sugar looks like.

💬 What about you?

  • Do you usually eat breakfast right away, or wait until you’re hungry?
  • Have you noticed that the timing of your first meal affects your blood sugar or energy?
  • What’s your go-to breakfast that keeps you feeling full and balanced?

For some members, testing before and after breakfast has helped them find what works best. Others have shared that high-fiber or protein-rich foods in the morning make a big difference.

This space is here for you to share what helps, and maybe learn a new idea or two along the way.

Take care,
Somya from the Carenity team 🌼

I eat after my morning process. First, shower (if i dont get a shower, its going to be a bad day). Put contacts in, Meds, brush teeth, feed the cat, feed the dog, make coffee for my wife and my self, take dog out. Then i get to eat about 7:00am . But if i also dont do it in that order, it will mess up my day because of my autism. I need structure.

X-Genner, trying to get thru it all.

My breakfast is a full pot of dark roast. (I know I should be better)

This is how I have been for years.
