It was early morning and the buffet breakfast was already being served. After praying early morning prayers I decided to make my way down. But this was not before checking my sugar levels which were currently slightly elevated. I hated this as it meant that having a decent breakfast was probably not the best thing to do as it would raise my sugar levels further.
Since I had arrived in the KSA despite me taking my insulin as normal but with more correction doses to counter high sugars, I was still finding that my sugar levels were stubbornly high and losing sensitivity to insulin. This required me injecting twice the average daily dose that I normally take. I have experienced this on multiple occasions when travelling which has become really frustrating.
Ok well for breakfast I guess the only thing I can really do for now is just have a coffee and protein snacks. So stuff like eggs, and scrambled eggs which Iām happy with to be honest – this was a decent enough breakfast for me.
I figured that if I just eat something small now and just wait for my sugar levels to come down over the next few hours, I could always come back down to the buffet to grab a second breakfast. Which I did at 9:30! So not a lot of time left which was frustrating again. I might have mentioned this already about coffee. But it felt very instant and light – not fresh ground coffee which a lot of hostels across Europe that I stay at serve in the morning. This was the only slightly disappointing part of my breakfast but still decent and value for money
