Porridge is our top choice for a heart healthy breakfast – when it is made with low-fat milk or water and unsweetened. Wholegrain cereals like bran flakes, malted wheat cereal and wheat biscuits are high in fibre and will also have sugar and salt added to them usually, so avoid adding any more sugar and opt for fruits or berries for sweetness. A bran loaf is one of the easiest cakes you can make – you measure out all the ingredients in a mug. Whatever your choice for breakfast for your diabetes, it's important to maintain a regular meal pattern and try to make time to eat breakfast each morning.Cereals like cornflakes or puffed rice served with low-fat milk – can be part of a healthy breakfast but are low in fibre so not as good a choice as a wholegrain cereal.

This easy egg free fruity bran loaf is packed with fruity goodness and is fat free – so feel free to spread slices generously with butter! The cereals that score high in fat but low in saturated fat are ones in which the fat mainly comes from unsaturated sources.
