High B/G levels after eating eggs for breakfast???

awww hehe thats not foolish

Not foolish, it is good to check every type of food to see how it affects you. Foods affect all of us differently. I eat a lot of eggs as we have our own chickens. They have no abnormal affect on me so I would keep eating them.

Hi, it was probably your late getting up that was the problem and not the eggs or the night before to blame! Did you know that your liver releases glucose when you dont eat? Maybe you didnt so getting up late, no matter what you've eaten the night before WILL push your sugar levels up. It's the same if you dont feel like eating, say when you're unwell or just dont want anything. The advice I've been given may help you, my Diabetic Specialist Nurse told me to inject my long acting insulin when I get up. That way you will have a base of Insulin in until you have your breakfast and your liver will have something to work against keeping your levels about normal, at least until yoy eat and then take your rapid, which by the way you probably wouldnt need if all you have is protein and no carbs! And your levels depend on other factrs too, your lifestyle, your sleep etc. At least it was in single figures so I wouldnt worry too much, esp if you're normally more controlled, it's your body's way of keeping you from dropping too low and then having a hypo! I hope this post will help.

Hi Deb,
Are you a type 1? Are you on insulin injections?

Kind Regards
