If one is slightly high (say mid 6s) at fasting, is it an okay idea to skip breakfast to help it go down a bit more?

I don't seem to get this dawn phenomena (yet!). By this I mean that morning values aren't any different to rest of day unless I eat something to effect them one way or another.

Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)

Try it and see, but generally it is best to eat regular meals IMHO.
