[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 1533944, member: 368709"] Hi [USER=202976]@rick75[/USER] I'm not an expert as relatively recently diagnosed myself, but as I understand it the morning fasting/pre-breakfast levels are often the last to come down. My own experience is similar to yours. I am no longer eating breakfast, but when I was, I would see a big rise between my morning fasting level and my pre-breakfast reading, followed by a drop after eating. I tried many strategies suggested on here to stop the rise, but to no avail. In the end I just decided to accept it for what it was and be patient. A few months ago I decided to try skipping breakfast as I wanted to experiment with intermittent fasting. I continued testing at the times I would have been eating and the pattern was the same. However, as I've continued with this - and added in some 24 hour "dinner to dinner" fasts, I have found that both my fasting level and the "pre-breakfast" rise have gradually dropped (although I do still get a rise between first and second reading). Whether this is due to the fasting or just time, or a combination of the two, I have no idea, but it is working for me. We're all different so may not be the same for you, but if you're not hungry in the morning then it would be worth experimenting with skipping breakfast- give it a decent go to allow for the odd anomaly- to see how it affects you.
