[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2123270, member: 94045"] You sound like me. My FBG has always been low, even on diagnosis - but since rigorous testing and wearing a Libre I discovered I am what is known as a "foot on the floor" person as regards this. My liver starts dumping glucose after I have been out of bed and pottering about for a while. I tried skipping breakfast for ages and had an 18 hour fast until lunch time, then evening meal 6 hours after that. I then tried a decaff coffee with double cream first thing, and that worked better. I now have one soft boiled egg first thing, followed by my obligatory cuppa. This works much better. I also detest creamy tea. I drink several mugs of tea a day with a dash of skimmed milk (people will recoil in horror about this, but the difference in carbs is negligible) Coffee also gives me palpitations, so I drink it rarely and only decaff.
