Depends what you mean by rise and fall and the degree of both. My sugars usually fall significantly when fasting but are still slightly elevated in the morning. Lowest readings usually mid afternoon. Also not forgetting the margin of error on meters and strips..Just wondered if its normal for blood sugars to rise when fasting.
My bloods do rise then they do fall, but just wondered if normal or not?
Mine would be about 9 to 10mmol and for a few days 11 or 13mmol and this would be first thing before breakfast.Depends what you mean by rise and fall and the degree of both.

Not on any medsWow that's still pretty high.. still on just metformin?
Sorry but as your profile isn't very complete its quite hard to see what you're doing so hard to advise..
Have you cut your carbs much?
OK so no meds but you are still having toast?Not on any meds
If i have say 5 egg whites on toast my bloods would drop 2 hours later.
And they would drop even more if i cut out starch.
Im learning that its not unusual for bgs to rise first thing in morn and even more so when fasting, because of the fat going through blood stream.(i think thats right)
The crazy thing is i wouldn't be hungry like that.OK so no meds but you are still having toast?
Why not just have 5 whole eggs maybe scrambled with some butter you'd probably get far better blood sugar numbers after that and feel less hungry 2 hours afterwards...
A lot of fitness trainers also have no idea about good nutrition.. fats (of which there are far more in the yolks) make you feel fuller for longer.And besides alot of fitness trainners only eat the whites
Just out of interest, is there a reason for that? I know the white has slightly more protein (maybe a gram ot 2 depending on the egg), has less calories, but the yolk seems to contain more nutrients and fat.And besides alot of fitness trainners only eat the whites, so i am kinda following that.

Umm will have to agree to disagree on this im afraid.A lot of fitness trainers also have no idea about good nutrition.. fats (of which there are far more in the yolks) make you feel fuller for longer.

However i am talking professional athletes rather than the guy/girl down the gym
When it comes to eating they watch the carbs just like us.
Weights and HIIT is the best for bringing bgs down.
But pretty much all of them eat egg whites only and the results are standing in front of u.
I am going to try something next week to see if eggs do raise my cholesterol, i shall keep u posted with the results
You are making a rather large assumption that "raising" your "cholesterol" is of necessity a "bad" thing..Umm will have to agree to disagree on this im afraid.

But the trouble with reports like this there is another 2 or more conflicting reports
