diabetic and gluten free!?

[zakiit]

I am struggling to find something to eat for breakfast now that I am going on a gluten free diet which will provide me with the carbohydrates that I need, bearing in mind that I am diabetic and breakfast is important but sugar should not be in a meal either. (My bloods could go up to 22.8 on two slices of toast with ham!!!) Anyone any ideas?

How about a fresh fruit smoothie. Kiwi, strawberry and banana.

You could try adapting this to sugar free with sugar substitutes..it sounds good.

Fresh Apple Bread, Gluten Free

Serving Size : 1

Dry Ingredients:
1 cup brown rice flour
2 cups white rice flour
3 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon -- (1/4 to 1/2)
1 1/3 cups instant nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup raisins -- dark or light
1 package dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
2 TBSP. brown sugar

Wet Ingredients:
2 large eggs -- beaten
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 cup fresh apples -- finely diced
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup margarine -- melted

Mix 1/4 cup of the 1/2 cup sugar with the diced apples and allow to sit for about 20 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The apples and the sugar will make a syrup. This mixtures now becomes part of the wet ingredients.

Mix all dry ingredients together. Mix all wet ingredients together. Place dry and wet ingredients into your bread machine in the order the manufacturer suggests. Note: If your machine has a designated time to add nuts and fruits, add raisins at that time. Note: The apples seem to work well, if dices are about the size of raisins. Slices of apples seem to stick to the sides of the baking container as they are kneaded. They don't incorporate into the dough. When baking the slices, they seem to all be on the edge of the bread and burn rapidly. Dicing seems to be the trick here. Use the fruit bread setting.

For carbs with no gluten you can have corn flakes cereal, hash brown potatoes, polenta, tapioca made with splenda, cream of rice (hot cereal) puffed rice, rice krispies, or rice cake in addition to some protein (like ham, eggs, etc)
