This is liver dumping blood glucose to get you ready for the day and often not food related (our body is really clever and can generate new glucose without you consuming any). Search forum for some tactics to manage this (timing of food before bed, timing of food on waking, etc.)I find that around 5g of carbs puts my sugar up by 1mmol/L or so 2h after meal and generally works with multipliers. It will be different for different people, but you should be able to work out your impact to be able to predict the impact of your meals and adjust before you eat. I find that occasions high protein content of a meal impacts me as well, but more than 2h post meals, usually 3-4h mark.I'm finding that for fasting to have a positive impact, I need to do more than a day. I'm now experimenting with alternate day 42h fasts, and these seem to return BG to good baseline so that the food I consume doesn't then push me out of non-diabetic range. It is hard work keeping in the green all the time and for me is a combination of watching carbs, fasting, regular exercise like walking and getting in my sleep. All elements add up.</blockquote>
