Not eating first thing is a sure fire guaranteed way for high BG by noon and a drop in late afternoon.
I have a proper meal soon after getting up and then can go all day without eating and not feel hungry or hypo. I just got back from band practice this evening and ate at ten pm.
No not ok... small meals often causes more insulin responses which can cause higher insulin levels. Not good for someone with IR. Fasting works partly by reducing the number of insulin responses allowing blood sugars to lower naturally. You know this surely?This way of eating can increase IR. Stick to small meals rather than meal varients up and down. Ok?
Can't think of any new arrivals. I've had plenty of worries over the last 10 years, and well they do seem to pile up a bit, but that would make me expect a more gradual increase. Not this sudden jump overnight. @Bluetit1802 could well be spot on, that my two meals (wow!) woke up my hibernating pancreas. That would explain the suddenness.Are there any other external factors impacting you that might cause and increase in stress?

Please allow me to correct. "when we THINK we take control". Your description is very apt.so, when we take control,
Def not hot or cold, but if it were a battery issue I'd expect the display to become dimly lit, and, according to the logic of diabetes, my readings to come downJust a thought.... Does your battery need changing or has meter/strips been left somewhere too hot/cold.
I'll have tea galore, but breakfast always makes me feel hungry after a couple of hours or 3 no matter how much I eat.
You're right, of course. I should have written no matter what or how much I eat. On the mornings I had 2 soft boiled eggs (with a slice of rye bread) I'd still feel hungry after a couple of hours, and that's considered a normal breakfast, isn't it?It isn't how much we eat that matters. It is WHAT we eat. Eating carbs will make us hungry again very quickly. Eating fats and/or proteins will fill us up for hours. A breakfast consisting of a couple of boiled eggs, an omelette, cold meats, cheese, those sorts of things will fill you up. Cereals and bread will make you hungry.

If I am right, it should be back to normal today. If it shows no improvement, I was probably wrong.
However, I'm not 100% convinced that you're not right, so if you are right, is it a question of eating more, but still LC, of course?
Thanks Bluetit, and sorry for the late reply. I've been considering your reply, a lengthy process for meI would certainly be consistent in when I ate, if I were you. If you only want to eat one meal a day, that is fine and probably a good thing (plenty on here do that) but that one meal needs to be at much the same time every day and absolutely must contain all the essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals that we need. This is called OMAD eating. (One meal a day) What will upset your metabolism is changing the way you eat from day to day, such as 3 meals one day, 1 meal the next, 2 meals the next and so on.
See if a hot bath lowers you?

I'm (most likely) not type2 but I have to agree (hey, I promised) with @briped here. I noticed for years, way before diabetes was in the picture, that eating breakfast of whatever (excluding coffee with milk - I don't do anything without, and in some long forgotten time even with milk and sugar) makes me hungry a couple of hours later, whereas not eating keeps me going without cravings until at the very least until lunch time.It isn't how much we eat that matters.
