I’m a T 2 and eat pretty low carb. Any type of processed flour or starch like pasta, rice makes me spike. At trader joes they have sprouted bread with 4 c a slice. I spread almond butter on the toast and sprinkle it with blueberries or half a banana. I get a little spike but am fine 2 hours later. On mornings that I eat eggs and sausage and cheese my 2 hour numbers will be 20-30 points lower than my fasting numbers. Protein does work best for me in the am. I don’t know why the ADA pushes so many complex carbs. I think they want to keep us fat and medicated. A multigrain bagel has somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 carbs. I try to keep most meals in the range of 10-25 carbs. On another note I have found if I don’t eat anything in the morning my bg will go up 50 or 60 points. So its not just carbs that cause spikes.
