[QUOTE="fletchweb, post: 1567440, member: 318202"] I discovered something similar with me a few years back and like you I did not eat breakfast - morning BGs were within range but just the stress of waking up, having a shower, driving to work in traffic would drive up my BGs - I've been told that statistically, most people have heart attacks in the morning because getting up in the morning and starting your day carries a level of stress to the body for most people. I've verified this with a BP kit - as my blood pressure will go up too from 100/60 to 130/70 - interesting thing though - it doesn't if I sleep in. I've dealt with this in one of two ways - 1. I will take a second morning shot of fast acting insulin mid morning to keep it within normal limits or 2. I do a semi fast for the entire morning and don't eat anything until lunch time - noon. I actually prefer to do a semi fast although there are times where I'm just hungry so I'll have a mid morning snack but compensate with a shot. I'm not over weight. That works for me - can't say if it would work for others. I'd be interested in reading other suggestions [USER=217275]@Kevlar87[/USER] - so I hope other people respond. [/QUOTE]
