Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dennis" data-source="post: 65223" data-attributes="member: 1338">Hi Chris,Of all the meals you could miss, breakfast is the worst one for a diabetic.  The reason is that during the night your liver starts generating glucose because you haven't eaten for a while.  That glucose goes straight into your blood and will raise your blood sugar.  This is why, if you were to test your BS just before bed, then again on waking up, you will often find it is higher in the morning even though you may have eaten nothing for 10 or 12 hours. The only way to shut down this glucose production is by eating something.  So if your first meal is lunch then your liver will have been generating glocose for 8 hours or more and your blood sugar will be sky high.</blockquote>
