  The food we choose to eat as people with T1D is so personal, and each food impacts every person differently. What foods do you prefer to eat for your first meal of the day? Share what works for you in the comments!
  Low carb and high protein

  My usual breakfast before I head to work is a (gluten free) bagel with cream cheese and a cup of black tea with milk and sugar. I've seen several nutritionists over the last five years and one of them recommended that I incorporate more protein into my diet, especially at breakfast. But, when I experimented with (plant based) breakfasts higher in protein, I found a) I didn't like most of them very much and b) my morning/lunchtime blood sugar levels became much more volatile. With the bagel, my blood sugar usually spikes shortly afterwards but then gradually falls back to target and is usually in range at lunch. I can work with that. I don't like worrying about low blood sugars while at work. I do I like consistency. And I like bagels.

  I drink several diet cokes (typically a store brand) per day. Doesn't impact my blood sugars. I am sure the artificial sweeteners aren't good for you but I avoid so many foods/drinks because of the impact to my blood sugars that I figure I'm allowed one unhealthy addiction!! :-)

  I used to drink diet soda EVERY day -- and I finally quit many years ago. Within a few months after quitting, my tastebuds finally realized it tastes like pure chemicals. Bleh. Now I can't stand the taste of any fake chemical sugars.

  I no longer drink diet sodas thought I used to love Dr Pepper! I just grew tired of them and started to prefer to drink water when I began hiking with a local group. Now I drink tons of water every day, though not from the tap since ours tastes yucky!

  I never drink any kind of soda, diet or regular. On occasion, if I am having leg or foot cramps at night I will have some diet tonic. It helps! This was recommended to me by my podiatrist.

  I used to drink diet all the time but have been reducing the amount. I know it’s bad, formaldehyde, for me and the taste has been off. The sparkling waters have been tasting better lately.

  I love Diet Coke. There are so many foods I stay away from because of how it affects my BG. And it’s my only vice!
