Mark,

Everyone reacts to carbs differently. What was your BG 2 hours after you

ate? That is the way to know if the amount of carbs you ate was good or

not.

Subject: Just wont to make sure.

here is what I figured I had in carbs for breakfast this morning

3 scrambled eggs, 3 bacon, one cup sliced tomatoes, 12-oz milk and black

coffee.

I figure this breakfast at 30 carbs. wont to make sure I'm figuring it right

before I assume I did. If I do wish to lower the amount down to 20 later,

then I figure to knock out the milk. I love milk, but as a diabetic it is

very high in carbs for no more then you can have and be safe. I did see that

soy milk has less carbs per 8 ounces. have any of you actually drank a glass

of soy milk? If so, how does it taste. seems like I seen where soy milk only

has 5 carbs per 8 ounces instead of 12 like cow milk. If I don't watch it, I

can drink one gallon of milk in less then 4 days. I can drink 2 gallons of

cow milk by my self in one week and this is taking it easy. I've always knew

as a diabetic the first thing I need to stay away from is milk and I love

milk! ok, you guys check out my breakfast and let me know if I'm right with

30 total carbs and if you think 30 carbs a meal will work or should I lower

the amount right now? thanks for all your in put because it is very welcome

and important to me. if you got some other ideas for a different type of

breakfast, then by all means please let me know.
