7 Easy Breakfast Ideas for Type 2 Diabetes

For many people, breakfast is the most neglected meal of the day. 

But if you have type 2 diabetes, breakfast is a must, and it can have real benefits. In fact, researchers at Purdue University recently found that eating foods at breakfast that have a low glycemic index may help prevent a spike in blood sugar all morning long - and even after lunch. In the study, people with diabetes who ate almonds as part of a balanced breakfast felt more full and had lower blood glucose levels after both breakfast and lunch.

And on top of the blood-sugar benefit, a good breakfast helps kick-start your morning metabolism and keeps your energy up throughout the day.

Pressed for time? You don't have to create an elaborate spread.
