[QUOTE="therower, post: 1567561, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=217275]@Kevlar87[/USER] . Great advice from everyone. One day a week , Saturday, I don't have breakfast on rising. I eat out ( full English breakfast) about 2 hrs after rising. If I was to do nothing between rising and eating my BS would rise in those 2 hrs. I usually have a small shot of novo to compensate for the rise until I eat ( have to remember i.o.b at breakfast time ). As for protein. For a lot of people a high protein intake will cause a significant rise in BS ( gluconeogenesis ). Our bodies use protein to build and repair muscles and unless you are using the protein for that purpose it is excess to requirements. Your body uses this excess as a source of energy and ultimately this causes a rise in BS. A few carbs alongside your protein drink , 10 g maybe a biscuit, would probably stop the gluconeogenesis affect occurring ( it does for a lot I know ). In the past I've heard people refer to BS rising as soon as they get out of bed as " feet on the floor ". Hope you find a solution. Trial and error does no harm. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
