I do IF 6Xs a week & 24hr plus one day a week. And yes your blood sugar will rise as your body begins releasing stored glucose in the liver, pancreas, and muscles. To counter that, I exercise in a fasted state, and once or twice a week, I do a two hour aerobic session to force my body to learn how to be metabolically flexible in the use of glucose/glycogen and then switch to fat when there is no glycogen fuel. Been doing that since March 2021 and got really serious in June and continue. Just had a Doc appointment and my HbA1c has been 6.0 for six months. Diagnosed @11.9. Metabolic Syndrome was my nickname. My blood pressure has dropped to 100-116/50-60. My HDL, which I couldn't get above 50, has been over 90 since August 2021. I'm a 20plus year type 2, probably longer as at diagnoses, 2001, HbA1c was 11.9.Began exercising 2007; Certified Group Exercise Instructor 2018 but glucose control was achieved in 2010 but never came down to prediabetes level. HBP, cholesterol remained with meds and Visceral Fat WOULD NOT BUDGE. Not until 2020 under lockdown when I switched to Moderate Intensity aerobics that my visceral fat began coming down. Then unintentionally on an empty stomach March of 2021 and things start to reverse ( Insulin levels dropped?). Visceral Fat disappeared completely, blood pressure dropped and I got my first pre-diabetic HbA1c of 6 Nov 2021.

Very nice video . I am diabetic for last 20 years. My age is 52. My breakfast is....one cup cream taken from top layer of buffalo milk curd , and one small cup of cold coffee. With breakfast I take 250 mg benfotiamine, 5000IU Vitamin D3, 54 mcg Vitamin K2. With this regimin I am very stable and cool until lunch at 2pm. My lunch contains 15 grams carbs. Evening dinner also 15 grams carbs. Meat, eggs, cheese, green leafy vegetables, makes me more stable throughout the day. I take only 500 mg metformin Sustained release at 9Pm. My HbA1C ranges from 6 to 6.8. I am learning lot of valuable information from your valuable channel. Thanks a lot

I did keto in 2017 and was able to get off all medication for a year and lost 90 pounds, I’ve kept it off to the pound…I need to lose more but mental health got in the way. Anyway, I did intermittent fasting and wouldn’t eat until around 11or later. My numbers were high in the morning, but once I ate, eggs, meat, whatever, the numbers would drop. I wish I had the willpower to eat that low of carbs, but it’s hard, but it was the best thing I have ever done, I wish more people would learn to eat to their meter. The Drs I’ve been to, have no idea about nutrition, I had to go to a chiropractor to get me on the right path. Thank you for helping inform people.

I stopped eating breakfast in October 2021. My prediabetes is now gone. Plus I lost 70 pounds. Male, 70, weight 230 down to 160 (bmi now 23 from 33) 5'10". Used keto & omad. Very good idea to skip breakfast (for me).

[@SugarMDs]

Great input. Thanks a lot. Appreciated.

[@janetgarcia3273]

Wow. That explains a lot. I typically have hypoglycemia and skipping breakfast causes me to feel weak and shake. But I was trying to do Keto. I will try eating a protein breakfast and eat last meal before dark. It gets dark around 5:30.

[@BaneTrogdor]

Drop in blood glucose. Diabetics have this because pancreas is producing too much insulin, and after some time when there is too much of it, blood glucose drops down as a result.

2 years ago I had A1C of 11 I'm now down below 5. I tried intermittent fasting 16 hours fast 8 hour eating window . went on clean keto lost 30 pounds I have reversed my diabetes. I have suffered from diabetes for more than 40 years type 2 wish my doctors would have given me a clue. How to do my own research. Is very happy healthy continue with low blood sugar Off all medications including high blood pressure medications

[@mariateresamondragon5850]

Here is my story. I am a type 2 diabetic taking no medications (so I watch what I eat very carefully, usually). I always eat breakfast. When I wake up, my fasting blood sugar is always much higher than I would like, usually between 120 and 145. After I eat breakfast, it is actually lower than it was before I ate. (It is at its lowest just before I eat lunch, usually in the mid-afternoon.) I usually get up around 10 AM and sometimes don't eat breakfast until noon. My typical breakfast is a tomato, a zucchini (or maybe bok choy), garlic, and spices stir-fried with 1/4 of a package of extra firm tofu, a piece of fruit (usually an apple or some kind of citrus or possibly berries), and either a muffin made primarily with almond flour and egg or 2 slices of toast made from a high fiber whole grain bread. If I'm not feeling hungry, I'll just have the muffin and some cottage cheese with fruit. On days when I have to run out the door early, to meet friends for walking, I will grab a small piece of fruit and a handful of nuts, or sometimes stop for a couple of fast food soft chicken tacos. (The tacos don't raise my blood sugar, probably because their consumption is followed by a 90 minute walk.) I'm wondering if getting up earlier (which would necessitate going to bed earlier as well) and eating breakfast earlier would be beneficial as it would reduce my high fasting blood sugar earlier. (It would also mean deviating from my natural circadian rhythm, which might have other consequences.) I guess I can experiment.

I have a hit the floor spike every morning as T2D. My BG will spike up until I eat something after I wake. So a low carb breakfast is rather important for me. After I eat something my BG goes down. I wear a CGM so I can observe the patterns.

[@travissierra8519]

It’s taking some looking going through good information and bad information on KZbin but I’m finally whittling it down to a couple channels including yours that are really helpful and not just trying to sell a bunch of stuff.I really appreciate what you’re doing with all the information from your expertise! I just was recently diagnosed with type two diabetes I immediately dove in to get as much information as I could about changing my diet which wasn’t too bad previously but needed to focus on low carbs no sugar or as I call it no sugar low carbs to no carbs.The main problem I found with a diet change is trying to keep filled up. When I was growing upI was known as a sweet potato kid.

I couldn't find any breakfast I can eat without a big spike in my glucose. I usually have high carb glucose such as toast and cereal/oats. After wearing a CMG I released how high they spike my glucose (200~), so I start trying lower carb options such as eggs on wholegrain toast, chiaseed pudding etc. They still spike my glucose, slightly better than cereal, but still more than 160. I even tried low Protein pancake (35g protein no 1.5g carb) , that still spiked to 150! (I'm trying to keep breakfast below 140) I have no idea what I'm supposed to eat anymore :(

My biggest issue is that I cannot afford the strips needed to keep track of my sugars. Can you please advise me on how I may be able to access these without the $100.00+ a month cost? I am desperate, with 4 limbs in serious neuropathy and my weight going down. I plead with you to point out how I can find a way to get the strips. I live far under the poverty line ($640. A month) and my meds are at $220. A month. I am backpeddaling at the moment because I have rent and animals to feed. Any advice???

If you are diabetic and doing 16:8 intermittent fasting, which meal do you skip? Breakfast, lunch or dinner. Intuition tells me to skip dinner or meal before you go bed. Go to bed on an empty stomach. So it's breakfast, lunch but very light dinner, the opposite of what I have been doing all my life!!!

[@juliestade7529]

I started skipping breakfast in order to keep all of my eating within an 8-hour window each day after being diagnosed type 2 in July. Since that time (with zero diabetes meds), I've dropped my A1c from 7.9% to 5.8%, my triglycerides from 280 to 71, and my liver lab values back into normal ranges (ALT from 85 down to 35 and AST from 46 to 16). I take my usual supplements and medications in the morning with water (atenolol, potassium, vitamin D). My fasting sugar this morning was 88, but I'm sure some of these benefits (down 59# as well) are also related to the removal of all added sugars, grains, and the starchy veggies (potatoes, corn, etc...) from my diet.

Interesting..... I was diagnosed with D2 and have cut sugar almost 90 percent, put on 2 pills for glucose control and major improvement so far but skipping breakfast is hard for me , that's kind of the fuel of the day

[@juliestade7529]

@@gused82 I am flexible about it. Some days, if I'm particularly hungry in the morning, I may switch my 11 am to 7 pm eating window around to where it's more like 9 to 5. I try to listen to what my body is telling me in general. So for you and your schedule, it may work out better to shift things earlier.

I'm prediabetic and I don't eat breakfast coz I'm in fasting and glocuse is going down

[@garysnider3000]

I am T2D. I fasted 23 hours a day for two days a week eating only breakfast for ten weeks. At my desired weight and correcting my blood sugar a great deal I started eating three meals a day. Wanting to lower my blood sugar to non T2D levels I tried skipping a meal a day. Skipping breakfast and lunch raised my blood sugar levels. Skipping dinner worked but it caused me to lose strength and stamina over a couple of weeks. I now eat three meals a day following a lot of SugarMD advice and watching my portions. I feel better and my Blood sugars are now stable and below pre-diabetic levels with my weigh staying at my desired level. Skipping breakfast did not work for me. Three meals a day and a 13/15 hour fasting each night works great for me for the last six months. Thanks Dr. Ergin for your work. Your book "The Ultimate Diabetes Book" was a must read for me!

I only drink a morning coffee and eat my only meal around 6-7pm.

I do much better with a fast or a light high protein zero carb (Isopure zero) shake early in the morning then eggs or proteins around lunch. What I really need to do is skip dinner and stop snacking at night. I am never hungry in the morning.

Hi Dr, I was diagnosed Type2 Jan/2022. I love you videos and bought your book. I am intermittent fasting with morning blood sugars at 10am around 120. Is that too high for fasting? Should I be eating breakfast?

[@sweetheartcarebear5534]

I was diagnosed as prediabetic. I sometimes eat breakfast and when I do a 24 hour fasting I will skip break and only eat once for lunch and nothing for dinner. I feel fine skipping breakfast and dinner. I do not test my glucose because my doctor didn’t say I needed to and no medication. I do feel fine if I skip breakfast, but if I feel hungry in the morning I will eat because I work at a job where we have lunch at 10:36 am. The life of a substitute teacher 👩‍🏫.

I eat breakfast at noon, and supper at 6:00. I started this when I was told to go on a 1000 cal/day diet…that’s not enough calories for three satisfactory meals! I’m no longer so restricted, but it still works for me. Labs are good. A1C is good. I don’t consider myself a breakfast “skipper”, rather I eat a “late” breakfast.
