Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 > > Dawn effect aside, do people tend to get higher blood glucose levels from breakfast compared to meals later in the day? That's what I seem to be noticing with myself, after only a few weeks of testing. Fasting levels are 80s - 90s, but post-breakfast levels are always higher than post-other meals (taking carbs into account). > > Hi Even when my fasting numbers are good, I can't handle any carbs at breakfast without spiking. So, yes, there are others like you. My solution is to have my carbs later in the day. I eat my cereal at suppertime.

However, scrambled eggs (sans wine) is an excellent breakfast for me. I just don't put it on toast. Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Insulin resistance is high in most diabetics in the morning. Your testing should show you the time it is lowest for you. On top of that the dawn phenomenon can last for hours and hours. Low carb meals for breakfast are the best way to go. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I'm not on any medication. I can only tolerate half the carbs at breakfast time that I can tolerate later in the day, so my answer is yes. I seem to be more insulin resistant in the morning. My fasting BG is fine. I just spike higher in the morning. Christy > > Dawn effect aside, do people tend to get higher blood glucose levels from > breakfast compared to meals later in the day?
