Was it a full fat yogurt? What was the net carbs, I've given up any yogurts and go for double cream, both extra thick and normal variety.Up again this morning, to 8.0. Had a breakfast of 100gms Greek Yoghurt with 6 walnuts, and 2 hours later my reading had jumped to 11.3
I have that breakfast quite often, but it doesn't usually have that effect so goodness knows what's going on
Hi @Stallen, it was full fat yoghurt, 6.5gms carbs per 100gms, which is slightly higher than recommended but I've had it before and it hasn't spiked me that much. An hour later it was back down to 8.2,. I then tested before lunch and it was down to 8 again. 2 hours after lunch it was 7.4. I really struggle in the mornings as, whether I eat breakfast or not, my readings just seem to climb through the morning. Then they start dropping from lunch onwards.Was it a full fat yogurt?

@TooManyCrisps I've had a delayed carb effect. I can be fine 2 hrs after a none sugary carb and its as if I get a delayed knock on effect.
Did you have a carb breakfast yesterday or the night before?
I am sure it hits me later! I've even been chuffed at a very low spike then I pay for it later. I might be wrong thou.

@TooManyCrisps it sounds like your liver is helping you out. It thinks your fasting. Others are finding Gym with no protein snack can increase bgs sometimes delayed. No breakfast and on the go definitely gets my liver going.Hi @ickihun, I always test at 2 hours post meal if I can, and yoghurt hasn't pushed me up before.
I had a relatively low carb dinner at 6pm last night, (chicken, broccoli, a few green beans, homemade pesto dressing), went to the gym for 2 hours 8pm - 10pm, then didn't eat until 8am this morning. I usually eat breakfast at 7am but decided that, as I was running late, I would take yoghurt and nuts with me to work and eat there. I might try sticking to eggs tomorrow morning as they are usually ok. Boring though!
I do eat breakfast most mornings, but my levels just creep up through the morning. I occasionally don't eat breakfast, and they still creep up. I think my body just won't co-operate in the mornings!@TooManyCrisps - I agree with @ickihun - you've already fasted overnight so you need to eat something at breakfast, even if it is a big lump of cheese or handful of nuts or boiled egg - just to prevent your liver from being active. You can but only try it and see.
