Try making your own cereal, buy plain wheat flakes and oats and mix with organic dried fruit (other stuff has sulphur on it) - cranberries and sultanas are nice. Is dried fruit OK? Otherwise banana on it is OK. You can also try this with yoghurt if you like it.
Sort of a make your own muesli... sounds good as the store sort again contain lots of sugar.
Good idea thanks...

Usually a bacon roll & cup of tea but trying to be a bit healthier the last couple of weeks so switched to Kellogs Fruit and Fibre (not keen on the raisins) and one of those actimell drinks & cup of tea

Sliced banana and suger free yougart, I know bananas have a lot of sugar though but you can still eat them can't you?
Are you newly diagnosed with Diabeties? If so, I understand your worries. In the early days, it takes very little to get your sugar levels up and get pretty strict with your diet. I'm taking medication for Cholesterol, Sugar and Blood Pressure now, and 4 years in, so long as I'm reasonably sensible - I can eat pretty much anything.
In terms of low fat, low sugar breakfast - I would invest in a George Foreman type Grill (gets excess fat out of almost anything) and make your own burgers, grilled mushrooms and tomatoes to accompany a poached egg or two on granary toast. Black pepper is fine for you, as is a small portion of beans.
In terms of cereals, I learned quite quickly to enjoy simple Corn Flakes and Weetabix again - remember you can add sweetner if yu need to. Also small quantities of fruit are good.

That's great and much better than anything you can buy in a bag, I'll bet.
I usually have alpen but I think I'll make my own now.
I was naughty and had some toasted sultana loaf this morning.
Porridge. Wack it in the microwave for two minutes on full power. Job's done. Don't bother with that ohitssosimple crap either; the oats are just the same, just the finer left over oats re-packaged so that the manufacturer can charge a higher price for less of exactly the same product. Good marketing tho'
