Full Scottish Breakfast | Gestational Diabetes UK

A Full Scottish Breakfast can be a great choice for a protein-packed breakfast that can help you achieve great blood glucose levels. Here I tweak the traditional full Scottish breakfast to achieve the best possible blood sugar levels.

Many traditional full Scottish breakfasts serve baked beans on the plate, but many really struggle to tolerate baked beans due to the high-carb sauce and beans themselves, although a source of protein, are also higher in carbs. If you can’t live without beans on your cooked breakfast, opt for the lower sugar versions and treat them as the main carb on the plate ie. don’t add the tattie scone.

If you need sauce on your plate, then opt for a low-sugar or sugar-free version of ketchup or brown sauce.
