Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 543160" data-source="post: 2535510">Did your DN say why not to fast - is it due to you taking  Jardiance?I regularly skip breakfast  (and did so for most of my life prior to T2 as well)  but my liver still often  wants to top up my glucose in the morning  anyway - so  my fasting levels aren't always better/lower.  However  my overall glucose levels benefit from longer gaps between  my (low carb) meals, and I  tend to see a definite reduction over the course of the day.I believe the advice to take metformin with meals is because doing so helps avoid any possible unpleasant gastric side effects.   When I was taking it I was told to take my full dose with my evening meal, so never had any concerns over missing breakfasts.Edited to correct spelling mistake...<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" /></blockquote>
