[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2010490, member: 501623"] Funny, I decided to have 3/4 of a small banana with a half slice of homemade sourdough rye bread this morning as an experiment. I had it after my cheesy omelette that I have most mornings and I've heard having protein first can help prevent big spikes. It seemed to work this morning. Eggs/cheese at 9am. Coffee/milk, rye bread and banana at 9:30am. 11am reading was 5.6. 11:30am it was 5.2. That's nice and low post meal. But I still wake up with 5.4 or 5.3 fasting levels every morning. I even fasted from around 8pm till 9am. At 1am before bed last night I was down to 4.8. Then I woke to pee at 3:45am, so I tested again and I was 5.0. 8:30am, I'd been half awake and in and out of bed from just after 7am, trying to get a bit more sleep, so not fully rested before testing, but 5.4 morning reading. If you did eat a small banana, or even half a banana, how would it affect your levels? [/QUOTE]
