Thanks @dunelm. Can I ask a supplementary? What fasting reading would trigger breakfast for you?I don’t have breakfast and try not to eat until noon, 1100 at a push. So normally, tea, kofee x 2 and later a glass of turmeric. Then towards lunch time a glass of water with a fizzy vit C tablet in. However, if my fasting reading is high then I do have a bit of cheese or a few pork scratchings to calm it down.
I'm mildly vexed over missing breakfast for IF (we'll skip the h/m almond milk or even tea for pedants) versus squashing DP. My DP from fasting can be 1 to 1.4 with exercise or no exercise. I am not sure I need extra fat and cals just to dampen that rise. Anyhow, a rise of 1 from a breakfast worth having would be a stretch IMHO. Can I ask how many of you eat breakfast, what kind of thing and what rise/actual level + hrs do you get? TIA
Thank you very much for the compliment. I was feeling I had failed somewhat this morning!So vibrant and a good medium meld
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.A hybrid triumph IMHO.
Thanks @gennepher. It is very helpful and since your reply mentioned bread it really attracted my attention. Interesting how some foods can lower bg for certain people.I am sorry I cannot be of much help as I am experimenting with different foods at the moment.
If I don't eat breakfast then my blood sugar rises 1 to 2 points an hour and a half to 2hours later. If I have coffee and cream, or just cashew nuts for my breakfast then an hour an half to 2 hours later, it has risen by about 1 point or more.
But because I get up really early anyway, my dinner time is probably most people's breakfast time. This is usually just a protein meal eg eggs and bacon, and my reading goes down another maybe 2 points, it depends what my starting point in the day was.
But I am experimenting with some Polish breads at the moment. And for my dinner now I am having fried eggs on this Polish bread. And my reading still goes down about two points or a bit less.
The Polish bread is some kind of Ezekiel bread.
But if like this morning, I did some gardening after my nuts but before the eggs and Ezekiel bread, my reading went up just over a point.
This is probably no help at all...
Thanks for that it was useful. I like the idea of protein not fat.I have gone down into the 3’s but not worried about it as I don’t take any medication and have not been wobbly. If it goes above 6 then just a small bit of protein to drag it down a bit.
Fingers crossed that it goes really well.Not tried it before but it seems to have worked well. Just thawed in a bit of milk, quick rinse and then into a jar with some milk. I am trying for slow 24hr fermentations at the moment.
It is interesting that Moet has changed his behaviour also. Perhaps they are picking up that we are worried about the current situation.How odd, Moet our Labrador follows us around and plonks himself at our feet whenever we move. Yes I know Labs are sociable but this is intense, he even does it when we are watering the garden. Lies at the bottom of the stairs if we go up, he's never been upstairs in his 13 years. Perhaps they know something we do not or perhaps it's just because we are all together longer under lockdown and the pack instinct is more prominent, still interesting though that both our dogs are doing similar things.
I always eat breakfast as I don't feel that good if I skip it. Usually have kefir, inulin, flax seeds, hemp seeds and a few berries and flaked almonds and a spoonful of Greek yoghurt Or - like this morning - bacon, eggs and mushrooms or an omelette with cheese.I'm mildly vexed over missing breakfast for IF (we'll skip the h/m almond milk or even tea for pedants) versus squashing DP.

Thank you so much @Krystyna23040 . The Greek yogurt, inulin, flaxseed and berries combo is where my tastes would lie. Never tried kefir and almonds mainly work as almond milk for me. After almost 5 years I can eat 2 or 3 whole almonds now.I always eat breakfast as I don't feel that good if I skip it.

The rise in blood sugars after breakfast are chaotic. Usually between 0.5 to 2.5. There seems to be no connection between what I have eaten and the rise in after meal blood sugars. So this morning after the bacon and egg it was 2.5.
I like to finish eating mid afternoon.
I struggle to face the day without breakfast.Can I ask how many of you eat breakfast, what kind of thing and what rise/actual level + 2 hrs do you get? TIA
I am afraid that even after 8 years of testing I find that much of the information is still a mystery.In all honesty, After 12 months of testing much of the information is still a mystery and continues to surprise or baffle me.
