[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 855927, member: 13582"] If you are unwell it is very common for your blood sugars to rise. This is probably what happened here. You conversation with the 111 doctor was obviously of little use. If you feel unwell but still hungry try and only eat low carb foods to avoid a spike. If you don't feel hungry then don't eat. I don't eat breakfast either and have no problems with that; everyone will have some form of dawn phenomenon where the liver releases glucose to help wake you up and get you going of a morning; not eating does not affect that. As with everyone else who has posted; you need to test your blood sugars. The doctor that you spoke to is obviously wrong and may find the handy guide below of some use. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
