Hi again Suzanne
Investigating your query further, I have found that a good breakfast is the key to your low blood sugar problem. Studies reveal that you need to eat protein to keep your levels high - 22 grams is the minimum to keep levels up for 3 hours and 55 grams is required to keep them up for 6 hours. An egg contains between 6-7 grams and an average rasher of bacon is about the same. Two eggs and two rashers of bacon give you more than your 22 gram requirement and the best breakfasts also include fat and a little carbohydrate.
Hope this is helpful. I wonder what you eat for breakfast currently?
