[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1517093, member: 94045"] I've changed my morning routine a few times since diagnosis. I never have had a high fasting BG, even at the beginning of my journey. It has always been mid 5s. Average about 5.4. I am different from many on here because I drop overnight. From my bedtime reading to my fasting reading I frequently drop by 0.5mmol/l and very rarely go up. I test immediately on getting out of bed and washing hands. Impaired fasting glucose has never been my problem. I'm lucky. It was only when I started wearing a Libre that I realised my levels began to rise about 15 minutes after getting up. They rose at least 1mmol/l or more and were not fully back down again before lunch time. At the time my breakfast was Full Fat Greek yogurt with only a few berries and some flaxseed mixed in, plus a cup of tea. I blamed this on the elongated rise. I changed it to one soft boiled egg and a cup of tea. It didn't alter things. I was still seeing the elongated rise. I then changed it to a decaf coffee with a good dose of double cream almost immediately on getting up (within 10 minutes and before anything else such as showering). What a difference!! I actually see drops now and my pre-lunch levels are significantly improved - and thereby my post lunch levels. I suppose this is intermittent fasting, eating only between about 1-15pm and 7-15pm. So an 18/6 fast if you count the coffee and cream as not eating. I've been doing this since January. [/QUOTE]
